Musical reading with author Wolfgang Martin and Manuel Schmid from Stern Meissen

In 1978, Tamara founded Familie Silly with like-minded musicians; starting in 1982, the band was simply called Silly. From then on, they inexorably stormed the German-speaking rock scene with songs and LPs that are now considered “cult” and “classics,” elevating Tamara Danz and Silly to the status of “rock legends.” All of her albums from the 1980s were hailed as “Rock Album of the Year” by the GDR’s youth media: *Mont Klamott*, *Liebeswalzer*, *Bataillon d’Amour*, and *Februar*.

With the support of the two Silly musicians Uwe Hassbecker and Ritchie Barton, music expert Wolfgang Martin recalls this extraordinary singer and woman in his book *Paradiesvögel fängt man nicht ein* (You Can’t Catch Birds of Paradise). The result is a moving tribute to a one-of-a-kind artist.

Together with Manuel Schmid, the singer of the band Stern Meissen, Wolfgang Martin is now coming to the DISTEL for a musical reading to bring the great hits back to life in a very special interpretation.

A special evening—both political and emotional.
