Luis La Metta embodies a reincarnation of Peter Alexander's flamboyant fashion style, Rudi Carrell's charismatic voice, and Udo Jurgens' rich tonality, seemingly ascending from the ether in almost ghostly silence. The essence of schlagers resonates with their regular and calculable rhythm, the comfort that envelopes one when hearing the warm, familiar squeak of a harmonica, and the emotional leaps performed when surrendering to their divine presence. "When I sing, I feel like the holy spirit is flowing through me. And as a deep sense of satisfaction fills me, yes, I would love to embrace the entire audience in my arms. I love every single one of my fans and respond to every letter because we are all just people at the end of the day." This grounded attitude is evident in La Metta's daily life, as those close to him can attest. "He pulled out a piccolo behind my ear and took away my innocence," reports one of his former backstage technicians. The impending Bambi award in the "Best Playback" category for the emerging Schlager icon is widely expected by many. Until then, it's recommended to bravely approach the microphone with a glass of sports drink and a small jazz cigarette, and weep while nestled in someone's arms.
