Artist Biography
Available in:
Dschinghis Khan is a German pop band originally formed in 1979 to compete in the Eurovision Song Contest. The group's name was taken from the title of their song, "Dschinghis Khan", which was written and produced by Ralph Siegel with lyrics by Bernd Meinunger.
In 1980, the group's song, "Moskau", topped the Australian charts and remained No.1 for six weeks.
While the group broke up in the mid-1980s, the German video for "Moskau" was a part of the show Disco on ZDF; as was their similarly staged number "Dschinghis Khan".
Louis Potgieter, the star of Dschinghis Khan, died of AIDS. He was 42 years old when he died.
In 1988, Leslie Mándoki and Éva Csepregi, the vocalist of Hungarian pop group Neoton Familia sang the song Korea on the opening of the Olympic Games in Seoul.
In an interview by Russian TV presenter Alexandra Glotova the producer of the group Dschinghis Khan Heinz Gross said that in the 1980s the band was forbidden in the USSR and was accused of anti-Communism and nationalism.
