Tante Friedl with gripping folk and roots music!
Tante Friedl is a folk and world music duo based in Berlin. With accordion, banjo and their powerful voices, Magdalena Kriss from Bavaria and Dan Wall from New York State create their own songs as well as new, gripping interpretations of folk and roots music from Central Europe, the Balkans and North America. On Saturday, June 14, starting at 8:00 pm, Schuhfabrik Tante Friedl will once again present the duo after last year's great success.
Their diverse repertoire of protest songs to songs about love, loss, nature and adventure gives insights into other cultures, stories and perspectives.
Folk music is not treated as a relic from times past, but rather functions as a living material to make current events visible in a historical context. This is based on the firm conviction that folk music supports an enriching exchange and mutual appreciation within and between cultures and can thus counteract the spread of nationalist ideas and the associated demarcation from other cultures.
In the summer of 2021, the group released their debut album entitled "Tandem", which was nominated in two categories for the "Preis der Deutschen Schallplattenkritik" (German Record Critics' Award). In January 2023, the duo won the Freiburger Leiter, the prize of the Freiburg Cultural Exchange.
This concert is supported by the Gütersloh Cultural Secretariat and the Ministry of Culture and Science of the State of North Rhine-Westphalia.
