Nena: 99 Luftballons

Published November 26, 2021 Music Leave a Comment

Live 2018. Aus ihrem Album Nena (1983).

Wikipedia: “99 Luftballons entstand vor dem Hintergrund der letzten Phase des Kalten Krieges in den 1980er Jahren in Deutschland. Aufgrund des NATO-Doppelbeschlusses von 1979 begann 1983 in Deutschland die Stationierung von atomaren Pershing-II-Raketen. Diese nukleare Aufrüstung führte zu Befürchtungen, dass die Gefahr eines Atomkrieges steige, und stieß daher auf massive Widerstände in Teilen der Bevölkerung. Diese formierten sich in der Friedensbewegung der 1980er Jahre.”
