Trikont

Trikont is a German label that has been making waves in the music industry since its founding in 1967. With a focus on American music before WWII, Trikont releases an eclectic mix of genres including Country Music, Hillbilly, Blues, Jazz, Soul, Funk, Cajun, and Zydeco. They also showcase folk and traditional music from around the world with thematic compilations like "La Paloma," "Queer noises," "Africa raps," "England's dreaming," "Black & proud," and "American Yodeling."

As part of the parent company Trikont Verlags GmbH, this Munich-based publishing company was established by an independent publishing house. Their dedication to preserving and promoting diverse musical styles is evident in their extensive catalog.

In addition to their impressive collection of music releases, Trikont also offers books such as "Bloß a Gschicht" by Hans Söllner (Catalog# US-0335) and a book about Hans Söllner titled "Bilderbuch" (Catalog# US-0358). These publications further demonstrate Trikont's commitment to celebrating artists and their stories.

The German Trikont label is celebrating its 50th anniversary. Trikont is Germany's oldest independent record label. The Munich company was founded at the height of the student rebellion at the end of 1967, initially as a publisher for radical left wing books including Che Guevera's Bolivian diaries. In 1971 Trikont added a record label to its operations, documenting outsider music from around the world. Trikont's motto "our own voice" continues to reflect this ideal today. With almost 500 releases under its belt the Trikont catalogue covers the widest possible range of roots music styles - from Finnish Tango, Rembetica and African Rap to obscure Americana, Deep Soul, Cajun and Zydeco. This 3CD set features 52 cuts from Express Brass Band, Girls of the Golden West, Hank Williams, Karl Hector, Rita Abatsi, Francis Bebey etc.
