About

Kraftwerk is a German electronic band founded in Düsseldorf in 1970 by Ralf Hütter and Florian Schneider. Their albums Autobahn (1974), Trans-Europe Express (1977) and Computer World (1981) laid the groundwork for techno, synth-pop and hip-hop, making them one of the most widely cited influences in modern music. Today the group - led by Hütter alongside Fritz Hilpert, Henning Schmitz and Falk Grieffenhagen - continues to tour with its signature Multimedia show, combining 3D projections and surround sound into what they call a Gesamtkunstwerk.
