Krautrock

Krautrock is a generic name for the experimental music scene that appeared in Germany in the late 1960s and gained popularity throughout the 1970s. The term was originally a humorous one coined by the UK music press (such as New Musical Express and Melody Maker), where “Krautrock” found an early and enthusiastic underground following. (It derives from the ethnic slur “Kraut”, which had been used to a refer to a German person in World War II). Read more…|Edit this Artist photo: The Cosmic Jokers
