Background notes
Archive material and source history
Uwe Kröger was a German singer who wrote and recorded the 1967 song "Afrika." The track became a hit in multiple countries, though its use of African melodies and themes led to some accusations of cultural appropriation. Kröger maintained he was celebrating Africa's diversity rather than exploiting it.
Before "Afrika," he had formed a band called The Comets in the 1960s. His other songs include "Ich Denk An Dich," "Atlantis," and "Böse Jungs." He released albums like "Das ist mein Leben" in 1969 and "Sing doch mal wieder" in 1973.
Kröger collaborated with artists including Marlene Dietrich and Vicky Leandros. His band featured musicians such as Walther Thiele on guitar, Peter Kelling on bass, and Klaus Suhr on drums.
