VA - Rote Lieder - Festival des polititschen Liedes 8

"Singe-Bewegung" and "Oktoberklub" in East Germany, part 12.

Festival des politischen Liedes (Political Song Festival)

Music festivals played a key role in the dissemination of political folk songs in the 1960s. In den US it was the Newport Folk Festival; in West Germany the Chanson and Folklore Festival, held from 1964–69 at Burg Waldeck in Hunsrück, attracted a wide public with prominent artists like Franz-Josef Degenhardt, Reinhard Mey, Hannes Wader and Dieter Süverkrüp. In East Berlin a "Festival des politischen Liedes" (Political Song Festival) was held from 1970–90. Begun as an anniversary party of sorts for the Oktoberklub, it became one of the biggest music events in the German Democratic Republic. Artists from over 60 countries and every continent played here, including leading lights of the folk and singer-songwriter scenes like Miriam Makeba, Quilapayún and Pete Seeger. The West German contingent ranged from Degenhardt, Wader and Floh de Cologne to Zupfgeigenhansel, Heinz-Rudolf Kunze and Konstantin Wecker. The festival was instrumentalized for political PR purposes, but was above all a window on the world, a “political carnival”, as songwriter Hans-Eckardt Wenzel put it, that “briefly suspended the drab monotony of day-to-day life in East Germany”.
