MANFRED JASPERS - Nach all den Jahren • CD

Manfred Jaspers started to rediscover German folk songs in the 70s of the last century. All over Europe there was a folk music revival in those years. To distinguish it from "Volksmusik", which had become unperformable through some misuse, young people like Manfred all over Europe called the newly discovered and rearranged music "Folk."

Manfred is thus a "co-founder" of the German folk music scene. He sang and played Irish and Scottish folk in the German band "Beda Folk", then in the group "Moin" Low and High German folk music, preferably songs containing "democratic characters". With the group "Averliekers" he created a "North German" programme. He is active as a songwriter and composer and also performs as a solo artist.
