Local DJ, Podcaster and Music Expert “Marcus Can’t Dance” joins me for the third annual Kölner Karneval music special, recorded in the Südstadt’s iconic Hammond Bar.

Marcus takes us through the earlier music of Karenval from Willy Ostermann, Bläck Fööss and Höhner, to BAP and LSE, right up to Kasalla, Querbeat and Cat Ballou. He chats the linear progression between them all, their links to left-wing politics and what the future of Karneval music holds.
