Musicians and Voice Actors Stand Against Far-right Party in Germany
In a notable show of resistance, several artists in Germany have taken a strong stance against the far-right Alternative for Germany (AfD) party through their music and actions.
One such artist is Jan Delay, a musician from Hamburg, who believes that even songs about love can be considered anti-AfD songs. Delay, who is 49 years old, is openly against the AfD and considers love to be highly political. According to Delay, more love in politics could solve many current problems.
While the genre or style of music Delay is known for is not specified, it's clear that every song written by him is considered a classic anti-AfD song by him. However, it's unclear whether the text refers to the same individual as a musician and voice actor.
Meanwhile, other musical groups have made their opposition to the AfD more explicit. The activist choir Corner Chor from Augsburg performed the anti-AfD song "Scheiß AfD Jodler" (Shit AfD Yodellers). This song was notably used by protesters to interrupt a live television interview with AfD co-leader Alice Weidel, demonstrating a strong musical protest against the party.
The multicultural band Banda Comunale in eastern Germany also actively fights racism by playing concerts that protest nationalist rallies, which include opposition to far-right parties like the AfD. They also conduct music lessons in schools promoting international and anti-racist perspectives.
In a symbolic stand, the renowned artist Vicky Leandros threatened to cancel her concert if Alice Weidel from AfD was allowed to attend, reflecting opposition to the party within the German music scene.
These examples show a range of musical protest efforts against AfD, from explicit anti-AfD songs performed publicly to broader cultural efforts to combat far-right nationalism and racism through music. It seems that many people might be making anti-AfD songs unknowingly, according to Jan Delay, which he considers a good thing. The text does not mention any upcoming projects or events involving these musicians or voice actors.
In the midst of resistance against the AfD, Jan Delay, a Hamburg-based musician, asserts that even love songs could be deemed anti-AfD, given his strong opposition to the party and his belief that love is highly political. The Corner Chor choir from Augsburg, on the other hand, created an explicit anti-AfD song titled "Scheiß AfD Jodler" and used it to disrupt a live television interview with AfD co-leader Alice Weidel, showcasing a powerful musical protest.
