Münchener Freiheit - Stefan Zauner

Eurovision Legends - A podcast by Emil Löfström

This is a cautionary tale about what can happen when you don't stay true to yourself. The German group Münchener Freiheit was formed in the 1980's and was a very succesful band for many years and had hits both on home soil and all over Europe. In 1993 they were internally selected to represent Germany in Eurovision, but it took some convincing from their manager to make them do it, since they didn't think that their style was suitable for Eurovision at the time. However, today's guest, lead singer and songwriter Stefan Zauner, adapted to his view of what would work for the contest and wrote "Viel zu weit". It failed in Millstreet, and is something that the band almost won't acknowledge today. Would they have fared better if they hade stayed true to their usual sound? That is at least what Stefan Zauner is doing nowadays, and he recently released a new record.Legend: Stefan Zauner from Münchener FreiheitSongs: Viel zu weit (Germany 1993)Host: Emil LöfströmContact: [email protected] Facebookhttp//www.eurovisionlegends.se Hosted on Acast.
