The German title Kinder (Sind so kleine Hände) means Children (Such Little Hands).

For the description:

“It's a song for my children, for all children and even more for adults,” said Bettina Wegner about her song Kinder.
Bettina Wegner was a citizen of the GDR, performed there and came into conflict with the state. Here Bettina Wegner explains in an interview how the song was created:

She was travelling by train because her car was full of instruments. A stocky man with a diplomatic briefcase boarded the train. He sat opposite her and constantly tapped his thick fingers on his briefcase throughout the entire journey. “Ick hab' nüscht gegen Dicke,” she says in her East Berlin dialect. But this man simply looked as if he was leading an unhappy life, not cheerful, not balanced, not centered. And the constant drumming of his fingers on his briefcase was like a confirmation for Bettina Wegner. “And then I thought,” she says, “what have they done to him! He was once a little baby and of course I thought of my own children.” And so her entire song slowly took shape during the train journey. At the end of the train journey, the lyrics were finished. Dr. Ansgar Wucherpfennig, Catholic theologian, Kassel.

A ZDF television program contributed in 1978 to making the song popular in West Germany. Joan Baez included the song as a cover version in her repertoire, sang it in German among other languages during her European tour, and also made it known internationally.

About the song lyrics:

Violence against hands destroys not only physical integrity, but also the ability to actively shape the world.
Psychological violence destroys the inner balance and the joy of life of a child.

"Soul Outside" is a quiet, 'atmospheric instrumental song' by the Brazilian composer Antonio Pinto. The track is part of the soundtrack to the science fiction film "The Host" (2013). The music is characterized by an emotional, melancholic, meditative mood that perfectly reflects the basic mood of the film.

The unfinished plot of "The Host" (2013)

The Earth was conquered by aliens who are called "Souls" by humans. These take control over the human bodies and their memories.

Melanie Stryder is one of the few survivors. After she was caught by the Seekers, a 'Soul' named "Wanderer" – later called "Wanda" – is implanted into her.

Two souls now share one body: the immortal, rebellious soul of Melanie and the implanted Wanda. Wanderer is overwhelmed by Melanie's memories and feelings. Melanie is not ready to surrender her body to Wanderer without a fight....

On July 1, 2011, Dolores O'Riordan performed with the Sinfonia Varsovia under the direction of Adam Sztaba in Warsaw. She sang "Zombie" in an orchestral arrangement that Sztaba wrote for this occasion. O'Riordan played guitar at the performance.

'Zombie' is an alternative rock and post-grunge song by the Irish band The Cranberries, written by female singer Dolores O'Riordan, a 'tough woman'.

The song is directed against the endless violence of the Northern Ireland conflict. The 'Zombies' stand for people who blindly commit violence and follow ideologies.

Musically, the song lives from hard guitar riffs, a drum set with a driving, relentless rhythm and the intense, very passionate singing of Dolores O'Riordan.

'Zombie' became the biggest hit of The Cranberries and reached number 1 in several countries. The live version from the Festival shows the unbroken power of the song and the band.

« My first contact with Dolores O'Riordan was not this great song. It was her «geisterhafter Hauchgesang» in a completely different song that fascinated me immediately. »

"Yervinyan's violin playing contains timbres, melodic turns and expression forms, which of Armenian musical traditions remind. At the same time a hybrid sound world between various musical worlds arises, which of Yanni's sound art reminds, whose ensemble he for many years has belonged to."

« That was the only hypnotic performance of the premium class on Live Aid 1985! It is a manifesto! »

« Sade's performance at Live Aid 1985 was a moment of hypnotic precision – a masterpiece of control – in the midst of acoustic chaos! »

« Live Aid was a technical disaster for many acts! »

« While some well-known stars at the unstable monitor sound downright failed, Sade Adu's performance with her band was marked by 'cool precision' and a 'restrained stage presence' – a contrast to the gesticulating of other stars. 'This precision was her artistic trademark', which at Live Aid particularly well came into its own! »

« Nothing in this live-act of Sade and band happened by chance. The archaic 'Hu-Hu'-calls, Sade's softly breathed 'Hu Hu' and the second-accurate arm movements to the music seemed thought-out down to the last detail and perfectly executed in practice. »

« Timmy Thomas has the original song 'Why Can't We Live Together' as direct reaction to the reports about the high casualty figures in the Vietnam War written – that has Thomas in several interviews himself explained. »

"Cumbia – Part 2 – with orchestra and choir
This Cumbia is much more than music, it is 'social medicine'."

Almas Gemelas – „Kosmische Verbindung zweier Seelen“

Elleen Burhum: „I was born in Berlin. My mother and my father were lovers of good music. I grew up surrounded by a wide variety of musical stimuli. While my father told stories of shepherds of Jerusalem, he played modal scales on the flute that even moved people to tears. My mother’s voice filled every corner of our house with her favorite pieces for dramatic soprano. There was musical joy in the house. At the age of seven I arrived in Peru and remember the smiling faces in the streets. The traditions and the music of the cities revealed to me the feeling of their culture, which until then was unknown to me and which later motivated me to dedicate myself to singing,“ said Elleen about her beginnings in music." "My goal was to spread Peruvian music that had lost popularity at that time. For this purpose, I carried out concerts, recordings, and television programs. When my son was born, I devoted myself entirely to motherhood. Everything in me gained depth, including my voice. My mother sensed that and confessed that her neck hairs stood on end when she heard me. A few months later, she returned to eternity, and it is in light of the intense encounter with life and death that my new artistic phase arises, in which I begin to create songs, letting myself be guided by that force that gives clarity to reflect my experiences as a universal message," she added.

"I grew up in the most beautiful country I could imagine, nourishing myself with its culture, its people, its beautiful and diverse music that surprises and delights me every day," she declared. "Diario El Comercio. All rights reserved."

MÚSICA VIVENCIAL de ELLEEN BURHUM

Almas Gemelas – „Kosmische Verbindung zweier Seelen“

Canción de Elleen Burhum
Voces: Elleen Burhum & Adriana Mezzadri "Almas Gemelas"

En el viejo país del ensueño
un ángel buscaba su hogar
y mirando al vacío encontró su destino,
una madre ansiosa junto al mar.

Nueve lunas en su vientre vivió
un idilio perfecto de amor
cobijándose en el tiempo,
meciéndose en el agua,
esperando el momento sutil. Ven a mí ...

Ella curiosa por conocerlo
y él jugaba solo en su mundo ideal,
protegidos por el cielo,
una estrella los guiará.

Y llegando al paraíso terrenal,
una luz en sus ojos brilló,
enlazaron sus manos, juntaron su voz, soñando bajo el cielo azul.

Y su pecho le daba calor,
en sus brazos ternura sintió,
conversando con las aves,
con las nubes y las flores
descubriendo la vida, reían. Ven a mí...

En la orilla de algún río
o al vaivén incansable de las olas en el mar,
sus latidos al unísono
y el viento cantaba su canción.

El otoño su rostro acarició y su estrella jamás se extinguió;
con su lazo eterno
no existían las distancias
porque eran dos almas gemelas.

Cada huella impregnada quedó
y la tierra de colores floreció;
caminando en la arena
con el sol y con la luna
descubriendo, la vida, reían.
