GURU GURU have been an institution for over five decades. 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. Voted Best Live Album of 1978 by several German music magazines, Guru Guru Live 1978 includes the best performances of new songs and a couple of well-known Guru Guru classics from a ten-shows tour, recorded and mixed under the technical guidance of Conny Plank’s assistant sound engineer Petrus Wippel.
