The connection between Bavarian Folk and Bavarian Chanson – is that even possible? On their debut album "Dahoam," the duo BlankWeinek takes the leap.
They have invented Bavarian Chanson. BlankWeinek confidently claims. But what is that supposed to be? Bavarian Chanson? Whoever thinks of the French model is mistaken. Although there are a few songs on the album "Dahoam" that definitely head in that direction. The ballad "Aufgwacht," for example, or the dark "Die Nacht." "We tell stories," says the musical mastermind Andreas Weinek. "That is what connects us with the chanson." However, they also boldly mix in other stylistic elements. Bavarian Folk or a touch of Country, for instance. Even Balkan tones can be found, for example in "Ostwind." The songs deal with love, longing, and relationships, as in "Dann kummst Du" or "Gemeinsam." The song "Aufgwachsn am Land" evokes childhood memories. "Irgendwann" and the morbid Viennese "Der letzte Tschick" deal with death. And then there's the eternal theme of home. "We don't want to leave the oft-abused term to the wrong ones. Those who pervert it for exclusion all the way to racism. That's what we sing against." Therefore, the Bavarian "Mia san mia" feeling is thoroughly poked fun at. Or the love for Bavarian beer in the song "A Hoibe." However, always with a healthy dose of irony. That irony, however, is for everyone to discover on their own. BlankWeinek serves up nothing on a silver platter. Just their Bavarian Chanson, after all. The instrumentation is diverse and matches the variety of the stories told. There, violin, accordion, and double bass meet drums, banjo, mandolin, and acoustic guitar. All of it is garnished with harmonica and brass instruments. Thus, Bavarian Chanson is ready. The stories are narrated by actor Harry Blank (known from the hit series "Dahoam is Dahoam" on Bavarian television), finely nuanced depending on the mood. Guest musicians like Micha Braun (Haindling) or Marlene Schuen (Ganes) have been invited for the production. Flo Rein (Banana Fishbones) and Haindling keyboardist Michael "Mufty" Ruff, who also plays live and on record with BlankWeinek, are responsible for the production. As a bonus track, there's the title song from the hit series "Dahoam is Dahoam" in a contemporary country version.
