The most recent Rudolstadt-Festival in Germany has a stellar line-up of performers. Steve Earle, Xavier Rudd, Shahin Najafi, Diego El Cigala, Rufus Wainwright, Fatoumata Diawara, Faun, Luedji Luna, Alice Phoebe Lou, and Steve'n'Seagulls were some of the standout acts.
The crowd was enthralled by Steve Earle's strong voice and politically charged lyrics, and everyone got up and danced to Xavier Rudd's folk, reggae, and rock fusion. In addition to Diego El Cigala's outstanding flamenco performance, Shahin Najafi contributed his original blend of Persian and Western music.
The eclectic and unforgettable roster was rounded off by the evocative piano ballads of Rufus Wainwright, the soulful vocals of Fatoumata Diawara, the folk with medieval undertones of Faun, the Afro-Brazilian rhythms of Luedji Luna, the haunting vocals of Alice Phoebe Lou, and the upbeat bluegrass covers of Steve'n'Seagulls.
Music fans from all over come to the Rudolstadt-Festival to see great artists from around the globe. The most recent version served as proof of how unifying and inspirational music can be.
