Beat vs. Politics - A historical, musical memo. Provided, compiled and produced by our media partner West One News / ARTBUSTMEDIA based on the history-making 1 million listener reaction show of RIAS BERLIN. The show will be repeated on DDRpops.com, which is a special interest offer of Popmundial Radio (Pop2radio). Audio Files: Music Across Borders, Part 1 ! (in English). A West One News Production, promoted by Artbust Music Acrosss Borders, Part 2 ! (in English). A West One News Production, promoted by Artbust Music Acrosss Borders, Part 3 ! (in English). A West One News Production, promoted by Artbust About Music and Politics in the Former GDR (DDR). Originally a massively successful programme in Germany that brought in to the German radio station a million enquiries for further information. It looks at the music that was being produced and listened to under the noses of the communist regime. It contains original music and interviews with musicians and in particular features RENFT, Wolfgang Bierman, Udo Lindenberg and Harry Belafonte. Musicians who were sent into exile or captured. Painter Lusici (right seen) holds the GDR flag up. He would have ended up in prison for painting over this state symbol. But art found its ways and more than a East-German "Trabbi" (below, on display in the Hard Rock Cafe Berlin) remains in memory. Music used other methaphers. The GDR music developed an amazing language of its own. Audio Files (Deutsche Version): Musik kennt keine Grenzen, Teil 1.
