Campino lectures on the “cacophony of our time”
It starts on April 2nd, 2024 with a lecture on the topic: “Kästner, Kraftwerk, Cock Sparrer. A declaration of love for everyday poetry”. Campino will give his second lecture on April 23rd on the topic “Everyone has something to say. The cacophony of our time”. Admission tickets for both events will be raffled “due to the high number of people,” as it says on the university’s website.
According to the Heinrich Heine University in Düsseldorf, Campino is considered “one of the most successful songwriters in Germany […] more than demonstrated his affinity for lyrical texts. He is now bringing this passion for literature and communication into the planned two lectures.
