Dschinghis Khan - History

History

The original members of the group in West Germany were Louis Hendrik Potgieter, Steve Bender, Leslie Mándoki, Edina Pop and the husband and wife pair Wolfgang Heichel and Henriette Strobel.

The group re-formed as the pop band of All Germany in late 2005 performing at the Olympiyski Arena in Moscow on December 17, 2005.

The band toured in 2006–2007 with singing and dancing group The Legacy of Dschinghis Khan and released the CD "7 Leben" (7 Lives). It was the band's first release since 2004's "Best of" compilation Jubilee.

In the second half of 2008, the band briefly entered Japanese music charts with the single "Dschinghis Khan Tartar Mix", performed by the all-girl group Berryz Kobo and featuring Dschinghis Khan's original vocals. This version was a follow-up to the success encountered by Berryz Kobo's "Dschinghis Khan" cover. The music video for the new song had Berryz Kobo digitally superposed into Dschinghis Khan's original performance, so that they appeared to be performing together.

Famous quotes containing the word history:

    In the history of the human mind, these glowing and ruddy fables precede the noonday thoughts of men, as Aurora the sun’s rays. The matutine intellect of the poet, keeping in advance of the glare of philosophy, always dwells in this auroral atmosphere.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    History is more or less bunk. It’s tradition. We don’t want tradition. We want to live in the present and the only history that is worth a tinker’s damn is the history we make today.
    Henry Ford (1863–1947)

    We said that the history of mankind depicts man; in the same way one can maintain that the history of science is science itself.
    Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe (1749–1832)
