Scabies (music)

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

A Krätzche ( Kölsch , also Krätzge or Krätzje , in the Rhenish Regiolekt Kratzen ) describes in the Cologne area dialect songs that tell funny incidents or pranks .

The name derives from the diminutive Kritty , for small crack, Schrämmchen, prank, blow, push, hit, hit, in the figurative sense for joke, funny prank, purr or sway . Scabies are not only performed at carnival .

The Krätzchesgesang is one of the oldest forms of song performance in the Rhineland . It is instrumented extremely sparingly and is performed slowly. The breaks are deliberately set. The everyday twists and turns that are presented are mostly stories with bite and depth, and occasionally also thoughtful.
