WOLFGANG FLUR (ex-Kraftwerk) / Musik Soldat

We welcome back to The Ferret, Wolfgang Flür, robot member of the seminal electronic group Kraftwerk from 1973 to 1987 who invented and played much of the group's electric percussion used throughout the 1970s.

A member of Kraftwerk during the group's golden era, he was there from their international breakthrough with the album Autobahn (1974) and remained as they experimented with proto-techno on albums such as Trans-Europe Express (1977) and Computer World (1981).

Musik Soldat ('music soldier') sees this true pioneer performing music from his present projects, including album MAGAZINE 1, and Kraftwerk past... all with a strong anti-war message.

Don't miss this unique show!
