Krautrock? Worldmusic ...


They started as a Jazz-Rock Band ... 


and then they left home with a bus.


sorry, german language ahead
 

The hippie-scene at my hometown loved them from the start and that love hasn't ended yet: Once we met them in 1976 and then they played our festival in 2003.

Embryo split up in two bands, Embryo and Dissidenten 



The guitarist (and oud-player) Roman Bunka created 
"Dein Kopf ist ein schlafendes Auto"
(Your head is a sleeping car)
and played some shows in the region, so i had the chance
to record this one with sennheiser binaural mikes 
Headphones recommended to have the experience i had that day


Playing the oud he's often guest on arabic records

They are often labeled as "Krautrock" but in fact they popularized "world music". Their way of making music, getting on the bus, meeting folks and jamming in the streets with them, stays impressive 'til today when children of the original musicians took their place.

It' about making music and not making money. 

Enjoy
