Μετάφραση-Δημοσθένης Κούρτοβικ
Wolf Biermann (15 November 1936 -) is a German singer-songwriter and former East German dissident. He was the son of a German Communist killed by the Nazi government during World War II. In 1953, at the age of 17, Biermann decided to emigrate from West to East Germany where he believed he could live out his Communist ideals.
In 1960 Biermann met composer Hanns Eisler, who adopted the young artist as a protege. Eisler used his influence with the East German cultural elite to promote the songwriter's career, but his death in 1962 deprived Biermann of mentor and protector. In 1961 Biermann formed the Arbeiter- und Studententheater (Workers and Students Theater). It produced a show called Berliner Brautgang documenting the building of the Berlin wall and was shut down by the authorities in 1963. Although
a committed socialist, Biermann's nonconformist politics soon alarmed the East German establishment. In 1963 he was refused membership in the ruling Socialist Unity Party of Germany (SED). Two years later, publicly denounced as a "class traitor," he was was forbidden to publish his music or perform in public.
In 1976 the SED Politburo decided to strip Biermann of his citizenship while he was on tour in West Germany. Biermann's exile provoked protests by leading East German intellectuals, including novelist Christa Wolf. In 1977 he was joined in West Germany by his partner, East German actress Eva-Maria Hagen, and her daughter Catherina (Nina Hagen).
In the west he continued his musical career, criticing East Germany's Stalinist policies. He was able to perform publicly again in East Germany in late 1989 during the Wende, or peaceful revolution, that eventually toppled the Communist government. In 1998 he received a German national prize. He now lives in Hamburg and in France.
This album was released in October 1975 and the title was "Political songs"(politika tragoudia).
It was an album with poems by Nazim Hikmet and Wolf Bierman.
The composer was Thanos Mikroutsikos.
Η πρώτη ολοκληρωμένη δουλειά του Θάνου Μικρούτσικου που κυκλοφόρησε τον Οκτώβριο του 1975 και με το «καλημέρα» προκάλεσε έντονες αντιδράσεις, αφού η μετάδοση των οκτώ από τα 13 τραγούδια του δίσκου απαγορεύτηκε από το τότε ΕΙΡΤ.
Τα τραγούδια απέδωσε η Μαρία Δημητριάδη, στενή συνεργάτιδα του Μίκη Θεοδωράκη στην τελευταία φάση της παραμονής του στο εξωτερικό η οποία - όπως αναφέρει και ο Μικρούτσικος σε σημείωμά του στο εσώφυλλο - δίνει αληθινό μάθημα ερμηνείας σε τούτο το δίσκο.
Επική αλλά όχι πομπώδης, δυναμική αλλά συνάμα τρυφερή, ήταν η ιδανικότερη τραγουδίστρια για τη συγκεκριμένη δουλειά.
Στα ποιήματα του Μπίρμαν η μετάφραση έγινε από τον Δημοσθένη Κούρτοβικ, ενώ εκείνα του Χικμέτ απέδωσαν ο Γιάννης Ρίτσος και ο Γιώργος Παπαλεονάρδος

I want to add... Your video is wonderful!
Evcharisto poli - Vielen Danke - Thanks a lot for sharing it with me!
I hope you don't mind, that I added some "newer" Information about Wolf Biermann.
His altered attitudes has also surprised the peace movement in Germany, he was once in solidary with.
His former work was better!
