Content and artists
The musical contributions for the CDs range from the couplet of “Monaco Franze” Helmut Fischer or representatives of the Munich cabaret scene such as the folk singer Bally Prell or Hasemann's daughters to the alternative folk music by Haindling or LaBrassBanda and the blues of Willy Michl to Georg Ringsgwandl , Hans Söllner , Spider Murphy Gang and Konstantin Wecker .
Naturally, the musical contributions are predominantly committed to dialect. When it comes to literary texts, the selection is not limited to that, because “the spoken dialect belongs to comedy, the spoken language to life. […] Sometimes the cultivated dialect is nothing more than a melancholy memory of a seemingly intact, please never changing world. The spoken language, on the other hand, bridges the gap between yesterday and today and tomorrow. "
Gustl Bayrhammer, for example, reads Ludwig Thoma and Martina Gedeck Ödön von Horváth . Carl Amery , Friedrich Ani , Franz Dobler , Franz Xaver Kroetz or Ludwig Lugmeier are each represented by newer authors with their own texts that they have read themselves. But there is also a contribution by the long-time mayor of Munich, Thomas Wimmer , in the original language on the topic of Oktoberfest - on which Thomas Wolfe (read by Jürgen Tonkel ) is also represented with one of his reports. Hannes Ringlstetter and Ottfried Fischer , for example, make contributions on the subject of “ madness ” . On the topic of “Munich” there are contributions by the Munich avant-garde band FSK , a text by Hallgrímur Helgason or a title by the hip-hop band Blumentopf .
