Stefan Franzen: Ohren auf Weltreise

(Hannibal Verlag) German, Softcover , ca. 22 x 15 cm, + online playlist
with a foreword by Bobby McFerrin

Through the year with 366 global music stories. The joy of listening: discovering musical styles from all over the world. Music calendar and world music reading book with online playlist

The sound treasures of our planet - as a daily companionJournalist and radio author Stefan Franzen has been tracking down sounds beyond rock, pop and classical music for many years and exploring the musical peculiarities of very different cultures. On his travels to Brazil and Ghana, to Istanbul and Catalonia, to Norwegian ice and to English folk festivals, he immersed himself in the music culture on site, but also discovered amazing things in the immediate vicinity. In hundreds of conversations, he got to know stars and unknown talents and has now compiled his encounters and findings into a calendar: Using short global stories, he has created an exciting companion through the year, spiced up with lively interview quotes and revealing anecdotes. Why did bossa nova originate in the toilet? What is an Indian raga, an Arabic maqam? How did the rumba come to the Congo? What does Inuit singing sound like? And is Portuguese fado really that sad? Questions like these are answered in passing on this journey around the globe, flanked by artists' birthdays and cultural and political world events. 366 mosaic pieces form an alternative musical history of the world: with Bobby McFerrin, Anoushka Shankar, Gilberto Gil and Angélique Kidjo, but also with George Harrison, Kate Bush and Caterina Valente!
