Music has the power to shift individual and social boundaries. We experience how Karlheinz Stockhausen and his LICHT cycle broke customary musical perceptions and still have an effect today. With SIRENS and EL ARENA, we follow how unfamiliar musical currents blossom in the Middle East and find their way. What are punk and protest allowed to do and where does the sell-out begin? I GET KNOCKED DOWN does not only deal with this question. WHY VERSAILLES? explores how a group of musicians intent on anonymity managed to become celebrated worldwide under the label "French Touch". And we take part in LE MALI 70 as legendary Afrobeat is rediscovered!
