Deutchrock

German rock , or dutch rock ( German Deutschrock ), is a term in German musical culture that denotes rock music in German, which emerged as an independent genre in the 1970s under the influence of groups such as Ihre Kinder and Ton Steine ​​Scherben . The mainstream genre reached in the mid-1970s with performer Udo Lindenberg .

Unlike krautroka , which in the late 1960s and early 1970s. performed by German English-speaking musical groups and which pretty fed up with the German public, the deutscher focused on short songs with direct lyrics influenced by rock and blues. In a different sense, the deutscher is defined as a German rock music scene, whose groups perform rock only in German.

The emergence of the genre dates back to 1968, when there was a departure from the Anglo-American rock canons, and the groups began to improvise. The first representatives of this direction were originally English-speaking Amon Düül , Guru Guru , Can , Organization (Kraftwerk) , Embryo , Tangerine Dream , Percewood's Onagram , Reinhard Lakomy , Puhdys , Panta Rhei (Karat) , Petra Zieger , Klaus Renft Combo and others. Following them came Ihre Kinder . Initially, the differences between the krautrok and the deutchrok were even vague, as few groups abandoned their previous repertoire and performed songs in both genres. Today the genre is represented by the bands Frei.Wild , Kärbholz , Silbermond , Der W , Fotos and others.
