Cologne homeland celebrates 10 years with a spectacular sing -along finals!

Cologne celebrated a very special event in the world of music and culture: the tenth edition of "Kölsche Homele". This special music production, which was launched by the Kreissparkasse Cologne, is not only a highlight in the Cologne music scene, but also an important project to maintain and promote the unique song culture of the region. On October 9, 2024, the ceremonial presentation of this anniversary took place in the treasurer of the Kreissparkasse Cologne on Neumarkt, and the response was overwhelming: around 450 guests were present.

Alexander Wüerst, the CEO of the Kreissparkasse Cologne, opened the event with warm words. "We are pleased to celebrate a first round anniversary with the 10th episode of the Cologne homeland," he said, emphasizing the large number of artists who have participated in recent years - now it has already been around 130. This underlines the vitality and variety of the Cologne music scene.

a musical festival

On the occasion of the anniversary, a new album was released, which is dedicated to the topic of “homesickness and wanderlust”. There are 17 pieces of music that were re -recorded by an impressive selection of Cologne bands and artists. The music ranges from regional sounds to international influences, which is reflected in the unusual collaborations. For example, the Nigerian band Bantu and the Cologne rapper Def Benski produced the song "10,000 Miles". In addition, the musicians from Hopstopbanda, together with the Cologne singer Heiner Everding, interpret a song by a Ukrainian poet that is presented in several languages.

Among the participants are both established names of the Cologne music scene such as Tommy Engel and Cat Ballou as well as new talents. The jazz singer and trumpeter Susanne Riemer, who most recently appeared as a finalist in the "Kölsche Musik Band Kons", is only an example of the fresh wind that this edition brings. Other remarkable contributions come from Max Biermann, Philipp Godart and many other artists who contribute to the charm of the project through their modern interpretation.

Another important aspect of "Kölsche Homele" is the idea of taking up and accompanying current trends and developments in the Cologne music scene, as Helmut Frangenberg, the artistic director of the project. He emphasized that the music aesthetic connections of different cultures and styles represent an indispensable part of the series of events.

The musicians not only bring diversity to music, but also an intercultural perspective that is particularly relevant in times of global networking. This cooperation shows how music can build bridges and how important cultural encounters are.
