3/info/die" target="_blank">Die 3 Colonias (Colognian pronunciation: [də dʁeɪ koˈlo²neˌjas²]; "the three Coloniad") is a music group from Cologne with many activities in the Cologne Carnival. Their predominant language of performances is Colognian.
They were founded in 1976 by the Cologne Dieter Steudter. Trained confectioner Steudter ran his own café on the Kaiser-Wilhelm-Ring until the mid-1980s, when he had to give up for health reasons. Since the beginning of the 1970s, he began to compose and write and even to play in the carnival. He was accompanied by accordionist Walter Haarhaus. To emulate their role models, the Eilemann Trio, a bassist, Paul Rumpen, joined the group, followed two years later by Oliver Hoff.
Their breakthrough had the group with the songs "Ja 3/info/die" target="_blank">die Oma will nach Palma" and "Bier und nen Appelkorn". For the ice hockey club Kölner Haie the group composed and produced in 1980 the fan anthem "Wir sind 3/info/die" target="_blank">die Haie". In 1993 Dieter Steudter composed the carnival hit "Eimol Prince zo sin" for Wicky Junggeburth, which also produced the 3 colonies and published.
In 1992 Walter Haarhaus left the 3 colonies, for him came Andreas Weber as keyboardist. Oliver Hoff began a solo career as a comedian and Millowitsch impersonator; He was followed by Willi Wilden. 2001 Frank Morawa took over the place of Andreas Weber. 2013, guitarist and singer Robert Lennerts and keyboarder / accordionist and singer Marcus Schmitter performed, appearing since 1990 as "3/info/die" target="_blank">Die Original Bergischen Gaudibuam" and since 2006 as "De Spetzbove", Willi Wilden and Dieter Steudter, working together with keyboarder Frank Morawa Cast of the music group. Robert Lennerts left the group in 2015 for professional reasons. For him came Fred Isenberg as a new singer. Dieter Steudter remained in the group until 2015 as manager. [5]
The most famous recordings of The 3 Colonies were released as singles. They have also been well received outside the region, including a drinking song of beer and an Appelkorn (beer and an apple and corn schnapps) and in Africa is Mother's Day (Today is Mother's Day in Africa), as well as "Halt's Maul, sei still" (be quiet) and "Ob Kölsch, ob Pils, ob Alt" (Kölsch, whether Pils, whether Alt).
