Zinnober was founded in September 1987. At the beginning some band
members
transformed own texts into lyrical songs. After that the band
concentrated
mainly on old German songs from the 16th until 19th century, which told
about
simple folk's lives. Own songs - thoughtful, critical and sometimes
even
ironical - completed Zinnober's repertoire.
Today's set concentrates
mainly on a variety of music from Scotland, Ireland and the East Coast
of Canada
both in English and Gaelic. Apart from a lot of traditional songs
Zinnober
offers many cover versions by artists like Runrig, Dougie MacLean and
Great Big
Sea. Some current chart toppers have also been added to our programme
after having been revamped "the celtic way".
