IFA Wartburg
IFA Wartburg was a Swedish two-man pop group consisting of Heinz Klinger and Rolf Kempinski, named after the Wartburg car brand of the manufacturer Industrieverband Fahrzeugbau (IFA) in the GDR .
Her songs oscillate between hit , swing and jazz influences . The lyrics of her songs make use of a typical GDR vocabulary, but their message is apolitical to playful and meaningless. Typical titles are Mrs. Gorbacheva dances Bossanova , It's not so bad on the island of Crimea , or agricultural science in the service of socialism . The songs are in German.
In 1998 IFA Wartburg published their only CD to date with the title In the service of socialism . The release of the album was followed by a tour through Germany and Switzerland , during which they were accompanied by a big band made up of Swedish music students. In addition to the CD, it was also published as a picture disk with a portrait of Erich Honecker and Queen Silvia of Sweden .
In 1999 the band broke up.
