Rousing potato festival: RAPTHOR rocks Genthin on September 19th!

With members from Genthin, Hohenseeden, Parey and Güsen, RAPTHOR not only attracts fans from the region, but also inspires them nationwide. One of their greatest successes is the double victory at the Jerichower Land Song Contest in Parchen, which firmly anchored the band in the local music scene.
An impressive repertoire
