Their own brand of “acid rock”, often labelled as krautrock, has played an important part in musical history, not only in their native Germany but the world over, especially in the USA and Japan. With an ongoing musical career of 54 years, over 40 albums, more than a hundred radio and TV appearances, they have performed over 5,000 live shows to date. What they brought to the stage in the 1960s may well have been seen as shocking. Fusing free jazz with rock’n’roll, Guru Guru experimented with Asian and African rhythms and styles, incorporating these into their own brand of psychedelic cosmic rock. The musicians lived under the same roof as a commune, enjoyed hallucinogenic drugs and shared their political views on a regular basis, reading out statements during performances. Their live shows were – and still are – experiences, with the band surprising audiences, for instance when they released live chickens into the respectable Grugahalle in Essen, Germany.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Repertoire Records","offers":[{"title":"LP","offer_id":50468902175051,"sku":"2022778","price":31.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"CD","offer_id":50468903715147,"sku":"2022779","price":18.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/The_Three_Faces_Of_Guru_Guru_e63da10b_thumbnail_4096.jpg?v=1727353591"},{"product_id":"live-in-essen-1970","title":"Live In Essen 1970","description":"\u003cp\u003eStunning quality, rare live performance recordings of krautrock pioneers Guru Guru, from one of their earliest ever live concerts on Sunday October the 25th 1970.

Forerunners of Krautrock, the group, founded in 1968 by drummer, singer and visionary Mani Neumeier, have been breaking boundaries since the beginning, fusing free jazz with rock’n’roll, experimenting with Indian, Southeast Asian and African rhythms and styles, to create their own brand of psychedelic cosmic rock, inspiring musicians and audiences the world over, especially in the United States and Japan. After their successful tour of Japan and the inauguration of Mani Neumeier’s own wax figure in the Tokyo Tower Wax Museum in the fall of 1996, GURU GURU processed their Japanese impressions on their next album Moshi Moshi, originally released in 1997. The album, dedicated to their many new Japanese friends, features songs like ‘Jet Lag’, ‘Don’t Worry About The Koto,’ which incorporates Japanese themes, and of course the title song ‘Moshi Moshi,’ a GURU GURU classic still found on the band’s set lists today.
