Ton Steine Scherben and Birte Volta

Birte Volta, a German singer-songwriter, blends folk blues and rock'n'roll with poetic passion. Known for her solo work and collaborations, she performs with Kai and Funky, original members of Ton Steine Scherben, keeping their rebellious spirit alive. Her style evokes PJ Harvey and Patti Smith, featuring songs like "Winter's Breeze" and "Left in me". She is recognized for her powerful vocals and guitar, drawing on extensive stage experience.

Formed in 1970, Germany's Ton Steine Scherben, led by Rio Reiser, pioneered original rock with political tunes. Known for hits like "Macht kaputt was euch kaputt macht," their style evolved into punk. Disbanded in 1985, reunited briefly after Reiser's 1996 death.
