Unplugdival - Akobastra, Django McLear, Die neuen Altlasten

In the organizer's words:

Akobastra present their own compositions and melodies that some people might have heard somewhere before. They send their audience on a dreamy and energetic journey through the genres of chanson, klezmer, Balkan and polka and invite the audience to join in. They sing in French, English and German or not at all - their instruments speak their own language.

Django McLear is a gritty Austrian folkabilly one-man-band and singer-songwriter, currently based in Berlin. Since 2010 he has been creating descriptive, appealing, colorful-dark, disturbingly soothing and powerfully emotional English alternative folk-rock songs with Americana and blues influences.His songs deal with detailed stories of human life, depicting it as an imperfect and unpredictable blueprint, meandering from the gray concrete of Berlin to the lush green hills of Seattle, from a deserted and dusty saloon in the Wild West to the dark and stuffy, crowded pubs of Dublin.With his haunting baritone and falsetto vocals, acoustic guitar accompaniment, blues harps and pounding beats on his guitar case, Django McLear creates an acoustic psychedelic waltz of honest and compelling stories and tales, with the aim of transporting the audience into a space where they can open up, sing along, clap or dream.

The new oldsters: Rainer mit AI and Micha aus Marzahn may no longer be young, but they're not so old that they can't be a burden. They do this with their own, not to say idiosyncratic, interpretations of songs, some of which are as old as they are.While Rainer Alban handles the microphone in his typical contemplative way, Micha B. tries to pass the time for himself and the audience with all kinds of instruments. And when he sings... He can do it all because he's been around for so long. The old silverback is not one to be fooled by X for Y or Z. Support from musician friends is always welcome. The two of them prefer to perform together with the Chilean golden throat José Promis. As a singer-songwriter, he writes his own songs in English or Spanish. The German versions are by Rainer Alban, who also interprets them.
