Die Alten Germanen by Die Drei Musketiere is a must-listen for any fan of German folk music. The album is a tribute to the ancient Germanic tribes and their culture, featuring traditional instruments such as the hurdy-gurdy, bagpipes, and mandolin.
The album starts off with the upbeat and catchy "Germania," which sets the tone for the rest of the album. The songs are all sung in German, but even non-German speakers can appreciate the lively melodies and foot-tapping rhythms.
The album also includes a few slower, more introspective songs, such as "Die letzten Germanen" and "Der Ruf der Ahnen." These songs showcase the band's ability to convey emotion through their music, even without lyrics.
