BAP is a German rock group.
Contents |
The group was founded in 1976 in Cologne, Germany by Wolfgang Niedecken and Hans Heres. In 1981 they released their most famous song Verdamp lang her (literally 'A damn long time ago'), in which Niedecken describes regrets he has about his relationship with his then recently deceased father ("Bap" is Kölsch for father).
Nearly all of BAP's lyrics are written in Kölsch, or Niedecken's variant of Cologne slang. Niedecken's most prominent musical influences, especially early in his career, were Bob Dylan, Bruce Springsteen, and the Rolling Stones.
