Santiano

Santiano is a German band known for their distinctive fusion of schlager, folk, and rock music, often blended with maritime themes that evoke the spirit of sea shanties and sailor's lore. The group was formed in 2011 and is named after the popular sea shanty of the same name. The band's lineup includes lead vocalists and multi-instrumentalists Björn Both, Axel Stosberg, Andreas Fahnert, Hans-Timm "Tim" Hinrichsen, and percussionist/drummer Pete Sage.

Since their emergence on the music scene, Santiano has enjoyed significant success in German-speaking countries. Their musical style is characterized by a unique mix of traditional seafaring songs, folk material, and contemporary rock/pop elements, which allows them to appeal to a wide audience. Their discography showcases their ability to swing from raucous, sing-along shanties to more reflective, ballad-type tracks. Albums like "Bis ans Ende der Welt," "Mit den Gezeiten," and "Im Auge des Sturms" have cemented their status as a top-tier musical act. Celebrating a decade on the music scene, "Die Sehnsucht ist mein Steuermann - Das Beste aus 10 Jahren" is a testament to their enduring popularity and the timeless appeal of their maritime-influenced sound. Santiano's appeal is further underpinned by their dynamic live performances, which have garnered them a loyal fanbase.
