Wolf Biermann, who succeeds in fusing his iconoclastic attacks on authoritarianism, bureaucracy, and militarism with infectious enthusiasm and pathos, making effective use of humour, blunt language, and simple imagery, founded the tradition of "Liedermacher", or political song writers and performers, in the GDR, to which Gerulf Pannach and Christian Kunert (members of the Klaus-Renft-Kombo, which performed Rhythm and Blues with critical texts in the early 1970s), Bettina Wegner, and Katharina Thalheim belonged. These singers, whose texts touched on sensitive political issues, had a significant following in the GDR, though they were often subjected to restrictions and more often than not ended up in the West.
This is a live recording of a concert Pannach & Kunert played on May 13,1978, in the old brewery Örebro in Sweden.
