VA - Rote Lieder - 13. Festival des politischen Liedes (1983)

This weekend we will have this years "Festival Musik und Politik".

So this gives cause for sharing the recordings from the 13th festival of political songs, which happened in february, 1983.

This album is a collection of live recordings by artist like Dick Gaughan, Sands Family, Letta M`Bulu, Inti-Illimani, Mikis Theodorakis and many more. The festival ended with a manifestation against the "NATO-Doppelbeschluss".

The "NATO Double-Track Decision" was a NATO strategie to offer the Warsaw Pact a mutual limitation of medium-range ballistic missiles and intermediate-range ballistic missiles combined with the threat that in case of disagreement NATO would deploy more middle-range nuclear weapons in Western Europe. This strategie was criticized by the strong peace movement of these years.
