the refugees

In May 2012 began in Germany the concert tour of an unusual band: Heinz Ratz and Strom und Wasser featuring The Refugees. German musicians play together withcolleagues who live as asylum seekers under residency restrictions in refugee camps all other Germany and have finally the possibility to do what they can best: playing music.

The Project was initiated by the german play writer and author Heinz Ratz: www.strom-wasser.de

Beside me there was even a film team who followed the group and made an amazing documentary about the project. You can find more information about the film here: www.cant-be-silent.de
