Review by Carlos Correa Loyola

Deutschland Meine Trauer DuMein Fröhlichsein is a captivating album by Johannes RBecher that takes the listener on a journey through the complex emotions of Germany during the early 20th century. The album features a blend of spoken word poetry and hauntingly beautiful music that perfectly captures the mood of the time.

The album's title, which translates to "Germany, My Sorrow, You My Joy," sets the tone for the deeply emotional journey that lies ahead. RBecher's poetry is raw and powerful, touching on themes of love, loss, and the struggle for independence. The music, which is a mix of classical and folk styles, adds an extra layer of depth and meaning to the words.

One standout track is "Der Heimliche Aufmarsch," a haunting piece that speaks to the fear and paranoia that gripped Germany during the rise of the Nazi party. The music is sparse and eerie, creating a sense of unease that perfectly complements the words.

Summary by Carlos Correa Loyola

Deutschland Meine Trauer DuMein Fröhlichsein is a must-listen for anyone interested in German history or poetry. RBecher's words are as relevant today as they were when they were written, and the music adds an extra layer of beauty and emotion to an already powerful work.
