Paradiesvögel fängt man nicht ein – Hommage an Tamara Danz

In the organizer's words:

She was probably the most famous rock lady in the GDR, but she also easily made the leap into the German music business: Tamara Danz, the charismatic and controversial voice of the rock band Silly.

When the news agencies and radio stations announced the death of the rock singer on July 22, 1996, it became a sad certainty that what she had so poetically written from her soul in one of the most beautiful Silly songs would not happen: "Bye-bye, my Love" "I'll be back when the meadows bloom". One of the most important voices in German rock music had fallen silent forever.

In 1978, Tamara and like-minded musicians founded the Silly family, which was renamed Silly in 1982. From then on, they unstoppably stormed the German-speaking rock Olympus, with songs and LPs that are now described as "cult" and "classics", and Tamara Danz and Silly were stylized as "rock legends". All of her records from the 1980s were celebrated as "rock album of the year" by the GDR youth media: Mont Klamott, Liebeswalzer, Bataillon d'Amour, February.

With the support of the two Silly musicians Uwe Hassbecker and Ritchie Barton, music expert Wolfgang Martin remembers this extraordinary singer and woman in his book "Paradiesvögel fängt man nicht ein". The result is a moving tribute to a unique artist.

Together with Manuel Schmid, the singer of the band Stern Meissen, Wolfgang Martin is now coming to the DISTEL for a musical reading to revive the great hits in a very special interpretation.

A special evening - political and emotional.
