Songs for the heart and mind. The songs of Bertolt Brecht are political and poetic, the melodies of Kurt Weill and Paul Dessau are catchy and emotional. Kurt Tucholsky, Erich Kästner, Heinrich Heine and Christian Morgenstern join the ranks. And the younger kindred spirits: Chuck Berry, Canned Heat, Gerhard Gundermann and a few other suspects. Wenzel & Woidtke also contribute their own works.

Wenzel & Woidtke?

They have a background in drama and have collectively directed the Theater im Bauturm and the Rose-Theegarten-Ensemble in Cologne. They have also performed musically on stage in various formations. Blues, folk, country, rock and jazz are close to their hearts. The lyrics are just as important: political, critical, poetic. No wonder they found their way to Brecht and his ilk.
