VA - 17. Festival des politischen Liedes (1987)

One of the important activities organized by the FDJ was „Das Festival des politischen Liedes“. The Oktoberklub began in 1968 a tradition of anniversary concerts which was so successful that the idea of an annual “Festival des politischen Liedes” emerged and became a reality in 1970. Such festivals had roven popular in other Eastern bloc countries and were to prove to be so in the GDR. They were organized by the Oktoberklub in cooperation with the FDJ and the local counil of Berlin (East) as an international gathering lasting eight days and featuring artists from about thirty countries. After each Festival a selection of the songs performed during the Festival was published on a record. Singers and music groups were chosen from all over the world, according to their political allegiance and/or because they represented minority groups which had been repressed by capitalist governments.

This album features recordings from the 17th "Festival des politischen Liedes", 15. - 22.02.1987.
