Manage episode 411875823 series 3554462
How well do you know Austrian German? The edelwisecrackers discover how the simplicity of a soup can stir thoughts on life and laughter, and why understanding these idiomatic gems is key to truly embracing the Austrian way. Some sayings will improve your view of a culture. Na, no, na, net.
The conversation dances through the city's musical heritage, from the masters of classical composition to the modern-day maestros in powdered wigs selling concert tickets. Our hosts then address one of the stranger questions: What's up with the Austrian devotion to the soundtrack of decades past?
As the notes of our cultural exploration fade, we spotlight the Austrian music industry's evolution, cueing up the birth of Austropop and the anthems that have transcended generations. From Wolfgang Ambros to Falco, we delve into the tunes that shaped a nation and reflect on the role of music during pivotal political moments.
And because every great mixtape needs a surprise track, you'll be introduced to the rising Austrian ensemble, the Sandstorm Unicorns, as well as Electro Swing or the German-singing Beatles. Even though you won't hear Mr. Giggles or Dr. Schnitzel sing, it's still an auditory adventure that harmonizes the influences of music and language, setting the stage for your next playlist addition.
