African Kraut II

In 1968, the legendary British radio host John Peel called the new
synthesizer-dominated music from Germany "Krautrock". The Hamburg-based
musician David Nesselhauf, who is also the bassist of the band Diazpora,
refers as a solo artist to Krautrock bands like Can, but combines their
psychedelic sounds with Afrobeat. This combination also fits so far,
because both genres contain complex rhythmic structures. Now Nesselhauf
presents his album "African Kraut II: The Lowbrow Manifesto". And
because this is a studio project, he is now on tour with a DJ set.
