Rebekka

REBEKKA belongs to the German symphonic prog rock tradition with bands as ELOY, NOVALIS, and GROBSCHNITT. This little band made a name in the progressive rock scene with an impressive, colourful album which can be qualified as a cross between folk rock and symphonic rock. The exploration in acoustic, folk music, their enthusiasm for melodic, sometimes dreaming soundscapes can be in part familiar for HOELDERLIN's fans. Next to rising synthesisers and melodic electric guitar lines, their characterised folk / symphonic rock features delicious soprano vocals (sung by the female vocalist Marion Weldert), dancing flute parts, acoustic percussions, classical guitar sections. Everything from acoustic / electric is included with cleverness to make a fascinating musical dialogue. To advance the band RENAISSANCE as an obvious influence is off course legitimate but REBEKKA is a manifestation of many prog rock subgenres. A forgotten band that only published one standard, classical album in their whole career.
