VA - Festival des politischen Liedes - Die Siebziger (Pläne)

21 songs from the 70s, most of them recorded live at the "Festival des politischen Liedes" in East Berlin. The album is a real collectors item, featuring a lot of unique recordings, with a broad selection of worldwide bands. A few names: From Germany (East) Oktoberclub, Schicht, Jahrgang 49; from Germany (West) Fasio Jansen, Dieter Süverkrüp. From Chile Quilapayún and Inti Illimani, from Finland Agit-Prop, from Poland Marek Grechuta & ANAWA, from Ireland The Sands Family, from South Africa Miriam Mabeka. And many more.

The recording quality is always reasonably good, catching the live atmosphere and the audience joining in the choruses without disturbing the music. An important document not only of an important festival and of political songwriting, but also of an era of German history that left not only a political but also a musical legacy.
