Paris Days, Berlin Nights

Paris Days, Berlin Nights is an album by German singer Ute Lemper, released in 2012. It features cabaret songs by composers such as Hanns Eisler, Astor Piazzolla, and Jacques Brel. Lemper is known as a foremost modern interpreter of music from 1920s Germany, particularly the works of Kurt Weill and Bertolt Brecht. Her recordings often revive music that was banned during the Nazi era, as part of the "Entartete Musik" ("Degenerate Music") series. The album's title evokes the atmosphere of Berlin during the Weimar Republic, a period known for its cabaret scene and social satire, which has also influenced artists like David Bowie and Lou Reed.12
