To inspire the German language learning students of its four partner schools under the PASCH programme, Goethe-Institut Bangladesh organized a concert with the German Band Erfindenker on Saturday afternoon at its auditorium.
The partner schools under the PASCH programme are; Oxford International School, European Standard School, South Point School and College and Maple leaf International School.
Dr Kirsten Hackenbroch, director of the Goethe-Institut Bangladesh inaugurated the event.
With their mind-blowing performance, it did not take long for Erfindenker to get their predominantly young audience on their feet and move with the rhythm and melodies.
30 Grad, Seid ihr bereit?, Achterbahn, Farben, So’n Tag, Keine Zeit, Lass mal lassen, Kalte Schulter, Nimm mich mit, Erfindenker-Medley, So gut, Unfassbar, Immer das Gleiche, Hans Cook, Wird schon werden, Strichcode, Spuck’s aus, Spring, Voll den Vogel and Zu guter letzt were among the 20 German songs presented during the concert.
Erfindenker line-up were: Fabio Niehaus (DJ/ Keys), Luka Sommerfeld (Guitar), Melissa Demissie (Vocal) and Caroline Leuzinger (Vocal).
Erfindenker’s Dhaka tour made possible thanks to the Goethe-Institut’s regional initiatives by inviting the group for more than a month long tour of cities in the subcontinent, including Kathmandu, Karachi, Lahore and various cities in India and Dhaka spanning from 16th August to 21st September 2019.
As part of the Dhaka tour, Erfindenker band members conducted a daylong workshop with 48 enthusiastic students from four partner schools on Friday. The students were shown how they may improve their German language skills through music. The participating students also rehearse with the band members through the workshop to perform three songs so stage, alongside the band members during the concert.
