Discover the Legacy of Kraftwerk in Electronic Music

Kraftwerk, the German electronic band formed in Düsseldorf in 1970, stands as true innovators in the realm of electronic music. Founded by Ralf Hütter and Florian Schneider, Kraftwerk played a pivotal role in popularizing electronic music, moving from experimental krautrock in the early 1970s to embracing synthesizers, drum machines, and vocoders. The band's influence extends across various genres, including synth-pop, hip hop, techno, and ambient music.
