Ostrock Events This Weekend in Heraklion

About Ostrock

Ostrock refers to the rock music produced in the former German Democratic Republic (GDR) between the late 1960s and 1989. Characterized by intellectual, often metaphorical lyrics designed to bypass state censorship, the genre features a blend of blues, folk, and progressive rock influences. Typical instrumentation utilizes traditional rock setups with electric guitars and keyboards, maintaining a moderate tempo and often melancholic mood. It shares semantic roots with 1970s Art Rock and Krautrock, though it developed under unique socio-political constraints that favored high-quality conservatory training and sophisticated arrangements over raw aggression.

Also known as: DDR-Rock
