This review is from: Meuterei (Audio CD)
I first heard Haindling when I was living in Germany looking for bands that sounded uniquely German. In this very diverse land, it turns out that the Bavarians are the ones who have really made an effort to preserve their traditions including music. Haidling is not really trad folk but his music has that as a big influence. He also includes pop, rock reggae, and other world music in his bag of tricks. Meuterei is a live album on which Haindling seems to be having a ball. The music is Bavarian and lots of other stuff but still manages to sound Bavarian. The songs are sung in the Bavarian dialect which even native German speakers find difficult to navigate. Nonetheless the music is enjoyable on its own. World music fans looking for a modern take on tradition who believe that Europe is also part of the world should check this out. Another excellent, more traditional and political band from Bavaria is Biermoesl Blosn.
