about

Originally, Charles Wilp hired German-based American avant-garde band The Monks to record a jingle. He thought their experimental sound and blasphemous image would be a perfect fit for the controversial advertising campaign. Unfortunately, his plan didn’t work out. “The musicologists and the CEO couldn’t agree with me and the whole thing failed,” Charles Wilp explained in the 2008 documentary “Monks: The Transatlantic Feedback” (pl-04 DVD/VOD). “I performed my Afri-Cola music with 48 strings, 2 oboes, 2 harps, 4 timpani, classical instruments. And I created this ‘unreal’ sound which I always wanted to do and which I could have achieved faster with The Monks. Then I didn’t have to deal with the burden of conventions.” In 2006 the filmmakers released “Silver Monk Time – A Tribute to The Monks”. Gary Burger (Monks singer and guitar player) and Dave Day (Monks banjo player) updated the old Charles Wilp Afri-Cola tune by adding voices (shouting, screaming, whispering), wild guitar feedback and an astonishing electrified banjo.
