Die Rhöner Säuwäntzt are a Skiffle-Bluesband from Eichenzell-Lütter in Hessen, Germany. The line-up consists of Martin Caba, Christoph Günther and Christoph Leipold playing Skiffle-Blues with lyrics based on Rhön Mountains dialect and other Hessian dialects varieties. The expression ''Säuwäntzt'' means pork belly and refers also to untidy or unruly children and youth.〔 Maja Dreyer, (Alltagsdeutsch Hessisch ) in Deutsche Welle 18 March 2008〕 == Background == The band started as a one-event session at a local festival in Fulda in 1994. An unexpected success led the members to continue working together. The band members have a blue-collar background and express this in their lyrics and musical style. The band's motto, ''Musik von den Baumwollfeldern der Rhön'',〔see ''Bo kömmsten du hää? ; Wo kommst du denn her?'' (where you from?), Textbook, Die Rhöner Säuwäntzt, Lieder von den Baumwollfeldern der Rhön, 1995, ISBN 3931796086 ID: m37416m58671, Rhön Verlag 1995〕 translates into ''Music played on the Rhön Cotton Fields''. The band members present themselves in hillbilly costumes, with corduroy trousers, braces and wooden shoes, and the acts include story telling and musical comedy on stage. Among the musical instruments in use are milk churns, electric shavers and wrenches;〔(Schmalkalden: Bauernblues, so rauh wie die Rhön, (peasant blues, as rough as the Rhön mountains) ), Thüringer Allgemeine, 29 July 2011 – 05:30 Uhr〕 sometimes brass elements are added as well.〔(RHÖN Vom Lustschrei zum Naturschutzgebiet ), Kaum zu glauben, aber die Rhöner Säuwäntzt sind ein ganz klein wenig intelligenter geworden. "Dorfweisheiten" heißt die neue CD. (From cries of lust till nature reserves, you might not believe it, but Rhöner Säuwäntzt became a little bit more brainy) Mainpost 11 January 2000〕 The musical styles besides the peasant blues include Latin American rhythms, techno and also German pop, and they sometimes also make ironic use of operetta lines and melodies or standards, adapting them in line with their hayseed image. 〔(Rhöner Äppel und Barkarole – Die Rhöner Säuwäntzt zu Gast bei Marianne Blum ), report about a gig with the singer and comedian Marianne Blum in Fulda, Fuldaer Nachrichten 5 February 2013〕 The band has played at regional festivals and events in Germany.〔(List of gigs on the band webpage )〕 It has been presented in German TV and radio.〔 Contributions to major festivals include among others Internationales Tanz und Folkfest Rudolstadt, Bardentreffen Nuremberg and the international street musician competition in Osnabrück.〔 The band has been described as a peculiar folk music invention with both rural down-to-earth and anarchic aspects.〔〔(29 April 2014 Flussgeschichten von der Fulda, An Hessens längstem Fluss (River Stories of the Fulda) ), TV emission at Hessischer Rundfunk〕 image:Rhoener_Saeuwaentzt_Session.jpg|Session with friends image:Rhoener_Saeuwaentzt_Caba.jpg|Frontman Martin Caba image:Rhoener_Saeuwaentzt_Guenther.jpg|Christoph Günther, bass image:Rhoener_Saeuwaentzt_Leibold.jpg|Christoph Leibold, wash board and milk churn 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Die Rhöner Säuwäntzt」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
