ANDREA SCHROEDER
POETISCHE SONGS MIT GROSSER STIMME
Aus München kommt der eigenständige Folk-Blues von Andrea Schroeder.
Ihre erdige, beschwörende Stimme gleitet über hypnotisierenden Rhythmen.
Die Musik, voller Kraft und Poesie, entstand in Zusammenarbeit mit Hubsi Widmann, dem Ex Mastermind von Schandmaul, einige Songs sind internationale Kooperationen, u.a. mit Richard Horowitz (Golden-Globe für die Filmmusik “Der Himmel über der Wüste” von Bernardo Bertulucci) und dem legendären New Yorker Beatpoeten
Charles Plymell. Die beschwörende und einfühlsame Musik von Andrea Schroeder mit ihrer charismatischen Stimme fand innerhalb kürzester Zeit eine große Zuhörerschaft und internationale Anerkennung.
"From Germany comes the incredible folk-blues-world music of Andrea Schroeder.
Her earthy, evocative vocal rides over the mesmerizing rhythms of 'Fly Me.'
'My Skin is Like Fire' sizzles with a palpable sensuality, its haunting beauty lingering. Schroeder is an exceptional talent, certain to garner greater recognition."
Bay Area Papers, California
"Elle est belle, elle est sympathique et elle a une voix magnifique
comparable à celle de Patti Smith il y a bien longtemps."
Thierry Benquey
"Viene dalla Germania l’incredibile musica folk-blues di Andrea Schroeder.
Bella e simpatica, possiede una voce magnifica, comparabile a quella della
migliore Patti Smith. La sua voce grave ed evocativa cavalca le ipnotiche
note di “Fly me”. In “My Skin is Like Fire” risuona invece di una sensualità
palpabile, indugiando in passaggi di estrema bellezza."
In Viaggio
I was given a magik gift one day. I simply stood and paused in silence on the street. I watched a man with no veins come my way. He came my way to meet and speak. He hadn't spoken in a year. All I had to give to him was the clean of a junkie queer. All he needed to change both our worlds Was. . . . . . . my ear.
Best of the paths is the eightfold, best of the truths the four; best of the virtues is freedom from attachment; best of the people is the one who sees. This is the path; there is no other that leads to the purifying of insight.
shine you light its very important it both help you and others to see along the way let love be your protection
and your best friend
may the most high bless you in the mighty name of love...
