THE SOUNDTRACK OF ANOUSCHKA · CHAPTER 04

Berlin Years

Underground and gritty

So Why? · Studio years

A place in the story.
A place in the songs.

The journey continues in Berlin: another city, another chapter of artistic work. Anouschka played the open-mike circuit and the small stages, made a pop-rock album and worked in underground theatre. So Why? and the connection with Harris Johns belong to the archive being assembled here.

An editorial introduction based on the artist’s supplied outline. Dates, credits and cross-chapter associations will be confirmed as the original archive is added.
