Guggemusik is played by bands, mainly during carnival, in Switzerland and the southwestern part of Germany. The English Wikipedia describes the style like this: “It is a strongly rhythmic music of distinctive style played with brass instruments, pipes and drums. Although melodies remain clearly recognizable, they are at times played “off-key”, intentionally and often quite skillfully. Driven by a dominant rhythm section, the music sounds twisted and thrilling, very danceable and perfect for spontaneous street concerts during the “wild days” of Carnival.” This particular group are the “Pantoffelgugge”, the band of the “Pantoffelhelden”.

This is the statue of Pan in the castle gardens of Schwetzingen, Germany. He can be found on top of a grotto not far away from a statue of Apollo with his lyre – so much more elegant (and a lot less fun, I imagine). The title is a quote from the English Wikipedia entry on Pan.

This poster is a wordplay in German on “frisch gestrichen” – (literally: freshly painted – the wordplay in English – “wet song” wouldn’t really work).
This is a contribution to “A Photo a Week” from Nadia Merill: Music.
