L’histoire de Gertrude…
Gertrude la berlineuse est née le lundi 24 octobre 2016 à 20h pétante (spécificité germanique) à Kreuzberg. Insprirée de la petite Fanfare de quartier d´un village d´irréductibles Gaulois du nom de Douarnenix en Armorique, elle a grandi au son des douces soirées berlinoises.
Gertrude c´est une trentaine de sicos´ super chelous (l´Allemand est cash et honnête) qui se déclinent en clarinettes, trompettes, trombones, saxs, euphoniums, percus, tuba, soubasophone et flûtes traversières.
Allemande aux arômes bretons, toulousains, belges et polonais, elle a de nature un penchant pour la bière, les Bretzels, les Pierogis et les crêpes bretonnes. Plutôt pas mal, elle n´est pas sur Tinder, alors si tu veux être THE super veinard qui va la voir danser au son des cuivres, vient vite faire sa connaissance dans les rues et bars berlinois, ici, là-bas, sous ta fenêtre, au bled, où ailleurs !
