Roider Jackl Explained
Roider Jackl (17 June 1906 in Weihmichl - 8 May 1975 in Freising; real name: Jakob Roider)[1] was a German performer, singer, and folk singer, who performed in Bavarian language.
He became famous in the 1950s especially because of the writing and performing of Gstanzls (short Bavarian mocking songs). A Gstanzl normally consists of four lines, sometimes eight, and is sung in dialect. He performed for example in the Bayerischer Rundfunk and in the Nockherberg. He was a master of the political Gstanzl.[2] Karl Valentin was among his admirers.[3]
