Jorge Degas (a Brazilian composer, bass player, and guitarist) and Andres Weiser (a German composer, percussionist and author) have come together on the musical project - Heimat - Von fern so nah (Home - from so far away to so close). Degas and Heimat have given modern new interpretations of german folk songs. Listen to these swinging, happy, brasilian versions of these folks songs. The songs are re-harmonized, re-rhythmized, and have been given a totally new revitalization.
Together with the singers and actresses Nina Ernst and Sahrin Rezai, Weiser and Degas have taken the german cultural song tradition and continued the innovation. Songs from Johannes Brahms (Guten Abend, Gute Nacht), Friedrich Zelter (Der König von Thule, Text J.W. von Goethe) and from Bernhard Fließ (Schlaf, mein Prinzchen, schlaf ein) each show a melodic and textual beauty in the original, and are re-worked by this unique group.
