Music has always been a central component of transatlantic cultural exchange. And, increasingly, a growing number of German artists are succeeding in gaining a firm foothold in the US market. As Europe’s largest international music platform, Reeperbahn Festival has, from the very start, seen itself as an intermediary between Europe and the US, and will be in Los Angeles to present itself as part of the Sequencer Tour. With an emphasis on three key areas – live music, the music business, and art – this miniature edition of Reeperbahn Festival in L.A. will focus on forging greater cooperation between Germany and the United States. By promoting the export of German music and working to enhance awareness of German artists abroad, by furthering active networking between the German and American music industries, and by embracing the universal language of art – Reeperbahn Festival is an embodiment of the immense importance of music and art as a bridge between Europe and America.
