Sibylle Kynast
Sibylle Kynast (born January 31, 1945 in Gangkofen ) is a German singer and guitarist.
Life
Sibylle Kynast learned to play the guitar and accompanied herself on the guitar during her first solo appearances . From 1964 to 1965 she played in the play "Love is better than war, love poetry from three millennia" at the Hamburg student stage at the University of Hamburg and sang cheeky love songs there. In 1965 she was one of the founding members of the Hamburg folk-rock group Die City Preachers . In this group, Kynast sang mainly Yiddish, Spanish, Israeli and Eastern European songs. She sang with Inga Rumpf and Dagmar Krause until the 1970s .
At first, singing and playing was a hobby for the City Preachers. After she had released her first record called Folklore at Teldec with the City Preachers , there followed stage appearances, radio productions, television appearances and other LPs. She decided to take up singing professionally and ended her pottery apprenticeship in 1966.
When the City Preachers moved more and more away from folk music in 1969, she began a solo career and worked with Eckart Kahlhofer for the NDR - Kinderfunk. She designed her own series and wrote the framework for these programs, which she also moderated herself. Eckart Kahlhofer set children's poems to music, a. a. by James Krüss , who were sung by them together.
After she did not have the desired success as a soloist, she began a four-year course in art education and art therapy at the Ottersberg University of Applied Sciences in 1973 . She earned her studies with singing appearances in various folklore clubs, for example in the Little Olympus in Bremen. For two years she sang and played English and Irish folk music as guitarist for the Bremen band Rademaker, Packeiser and others.
After completing her studies, she worked for 25 years as a teacher for arts and crafts at the Waldorf Schools Freie Rudolf Steiner School Ottersberg, Free Waldorf School Graz Austria, Free Waldorf School Frankfurt am Main and Free Waldorf School Berlin Kreuzberg. During her teaching activity, she also organized concerts with music groups or gave music lessons.
In 2009, after finishing her teaching activity, she founded the world music group Sibylle Kynast & Friends . With folk songs in Yiddish, Ladino , Spanish, Hebrew, Russian and German, she organizes concerts and released two albums.
