BAP is a German rock group.

History

The group was founded in 1976 under the name "Wolfgang Niedecken's BAP" 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", derived from "Papa").

Nearly all of BAP's lyrics are written in Kölsch, the dialect of Cologne. Niedecken's most prominent musical influences, especially early in his career, were Bob Dylan, Bruce Springsteen, and the Rolling Stones. With ten albums reaching the number one in the German record charts, BAP is the most successful german-language band in their home country.
