2001 Adriano

The idea for the project took root in the 1990s, and when a German of Mozambiquan origin, named Alberto Adriano, was brutally killed by neo-Nazis in Dessau (East Germany) in 2000, a group of musicians decided to organize and fight back.

“ Als Alberto Adriano an Pfingsten 2000 von Neonazis in Dessau ermordet wird, hinterlässt er eine Ehefrau und drei Kinder – eine Familie, die nun nicht nur lernen muss, ohne ihren Vater und Mann zu leben, sondern zugleich verstehen muss, dass er starb, weil er ein Schwarzer war. ”

“ When Alberto Adriano was killed on whitsun 2000 by neo-nazis in Dessau, he left a wife and three children behind - a family that not only have to learn to live without a father and husban, but rather have to understand that he died because he was black. ”
