Ein Traum von Weltmusik

  • Dialogue
  • Music

“World music” was originally a West German idea - the term first appeared during the art exhibition celebrating the Olympic Games of 1972. At that time, a group of German e-musicians began to experiment with far-eastern folklore and subsequently created a musical departure away from the elite circle of the avant-garde. At a time when the “world” recognises Germany as an immigration hub, this music has added significance. How is it understood by contemporary musicians, who are considered as people who now play “Weltmusik”?
The successful project “Heimatlieder aus Deutschland” has raised awareness of the immigrated folklore to a new level in recent years. The old and new songs of the immigrants were collected on two CDs, remixed by renowned national and international DJs and put into a contemporary context: as a new local folklore from the heart of German cities. A number of musicians from this collaborative project, which involved more than 250 people (most of them without classical music education), reference the compositions of Hamel, Stockhausen, Otte, Zieritz and ten Holt, re-interpret it in their own way and bring the results back to where they originally wanted to go, into the “world” of today, into the open.
