Weekendblog: Nina Hagen - Fever, New York New York & So Bad

Nina Hagen

D: Nina Hagen Catharina „Nina“ Hagen (* 11. März 1955 in Ost-Berlin) ist eine deutsche Sängerin, Schauspielerin und Songwriterin. Sie gilt als die deutsche Godmother of Punk.

Nina Hagen wurde als Tochter der Schauspielerin Eva-Maria Hagen und des Drehbuchautors Hans Oliva-Hagen 1955 im Ost-Berliner Bezirk Friedrichshain geboren. Sie wollte in der DDR ursprünglich Schauspielerin werden. Ihr Antrag wurde von der Schauspielschule ohne Begründung abgelehnt. Der zuständige MfS-Offizier hatte den Vermerk „Verhindern!“ auf den Aufnahmeantrag geschrieben, da der Dissident Wolf Biermann der Lebensgefährte ihrer Mutter war und auch Nina Hagen somit als politisch unzuverlässig galt. Danach sang sie bei einigen Bands in Polen und kam dadurch zum Orchester Alfons Wonneberg.

1974 beendete Hagen eine einjährige Gesangsausbildung. Sie wurde bei einem Konzert von der Gruppe Automobil entdeckt und sofort engagiert. Hagens erste Veröffentlichung war der beim ostdeutschen Plattenlabel Amiga herausgegebene Titel Du hast den Farbfilm vergessen, den zwei der Bandmitglieder geschrieben hatten. 1975 verließ sie Automobil und wechselte zu Fritzens Dampferband. Eine öffentliche Solidaritätsbekundung für den verfemten Wolf Biermann, der 1976 aus der DDR ausgebürgert wurde, brachte Hagen ins Abseits, so dass sie im gleichen Jahr die Chance nutzte, in den Westen zu emigrieren. Sie ging zunächst nach Großbritannien und war dort in der Punkszene unterwegs.

Nach ihrer Rückkehr in die Bundesrepublik gründete sie im Herbst 1977 zusammen mit den Kreuzberger Musikern Bernhard Potschka, Herwig Mitteregger, Manfred „Manne“ Praeker, die zuvor bei Lokomotive Kreuzberg gespielt hatten, und Reinhold Heil die Nina Hagen Band. 1978 erschien das international beachtete Album Nina Hagen Band. Nicht viel später überwarf die exzentrische Punksängerin sich mit den vier Musikern, die ihr Unberechenbarkeit und egozentrische Starallüren vorwarfen. Da mit der Plattenfirma CBS jedoch bereits ein zweites Album vertraglich vereinbart war, wurden die Aufnahmen dafür zunächst durch die vier Musiker eingespielt, später wurde – in Abwesenheit der vier Musiker – Nina Hagens Gesang aufgenommen. Der Titel des 1979 erschienenen Albums ist Unbehagen. In den 1980er Jahren konnten die vier Musiker unter dem Bandnamen Spliff ohne Hagen Erfolge verzeichnen. In den 1980er und 1990er Jahren machte Hagen durch ihre UFO-Theorien, ihr großes Interesse an der Spiritualität und den Religionen sowie ihr Engagement für den Tierschutz auf sich aufmerksam. Diese Einflüsse finden sich auch auf den zahlreichen, mit unterschiedlichsten Musikern eingespielten Plattenveröffentlichungen dieser Zeit.

Nina Hagen in Aalborg (2003)

1985 trat Hagen bei der Premiere von Rock in Rio auf. Sie stilisierte sich, beraten vom Mode-Designer Jean-Paul Gaultier, als Punk-Rock-Diva. Auf ihren nächsten Schallplatten gab sie sich kosmopolitisch, sang mal Deutsch, mal Englisch, schlug sich zur Präsidentin vor (Street, 1991), fand aber nicht die Musik, die ihr entsprach. 1993 unternahm sie mit dem Album Revolution Ballroom und dem Produzenten Phil Manzanera einen neuen Anlauf. 1996 sang sie auf dem BAP-Album Amerika gemeinsam mit Wolfgang Niedecken den Titel Weihnachtsnaach, eine Coverversion des Pogues-Titels Fairytale of New York. 1997 sang sie mit Thomas D den Song Solo, der später auch als Single ausgekoppelt wurde, für dessen gleichnamiges Album ein.

Zum 100. Geburtstag des Dramatikers Bertolt Brecht zog es sie Anfang 1998 zurück in ihre Geburtsstadt Berlin. Zusammen mit der Schauspielerin und Chansonsängerin Meret Becker gab sie im Berliner Ensemble den Punk-Brecht-Abend Wir hießen beide Anna und dialogisierte mit dem Dichter. 1999 sang sie für ein CD-Doppelalbum der Dreigroschenoper mit Max Raabe als Mackie Messer und dem Ensemble Modern unter HK Gruber die Sopran-Partie der Celia Peachum, getreu der Originalpartitur von Kurt Weill. 1998 spielte Hagen für den Berliner Fußballverein 1. FC Union Berlin eine neue Vereinshymne ein.

Im März 2000 präsentierte sie, barfuß im seidenen Sari, auf der Bühne des von Räucherstäbchen eingenebelten Berliner Ensembles vor einem Altar mit Opfergaben eine „Indische Nacht“. Ein Teil der dort vorgestellten Gesänge erschien ausschließlich auf Hagens Website, deren Erlös zur Hälfte dem Babaji-Ashram, einem deutschen Hospiz, brasilianischen Straßenkindern, Kinderkrankenhäusern in Indien und Tschernobyl und Ähnlichem zugutekommen sollte. Der Filmemacher Peter Sempel drehte einen experimentellen Dokumentarfilm, der die Jahre 1994 bis 1999 dokumentiert, über Nina Hagen, ihre Familie und die Wegbegleiter. In den Vordergrund rückte sie auch wieder durch die Zusammenarbeit mit Thomas D und den Bands Oomph! und Apocalyptica.

2001 sprach sie für die Rilke Projekt CD Bis an alle Sterne die Gedichte Die Welt die monden ist und Wie das Gestirn ein. Im Dezember 2002 erschien die Biografie Nina Hagen. That’s Why the Lady Is a Punk vom Schriftsteller Marcel Feige in enger Zusammenarbeit mit Nina Hagen. Das Buch wurde 2003 mit dem Literaturpreis Corine ausgezeichnet. 2002 sang Hagen ein Remake des Klassikers Kriminaltango im Duett mit dem Schweizer Sänger Michael von der Heide. 2005 gastierte Hagen auf Frank Zanders Album Rabenschwarz II und sang mit ihm eine Coverversion des Schlagers Liebeskummer lohnt sich nicht von Siw Malmkvist. Des Weiteren war sie 2005 Stargast des Berliner Yogafestivals.

2006 und 2007 war Hagen Jury-Mitglied bei der Casting-Show Popstars. 2006 begann sie eine musikalische Zusammenarbeit mit dem Capital Dance Orchestra. Mit dem Album Irgendwo auf der Welt sang sie Filmschlager im neuen Gewand im Big-Band-Sound. Mit dem gleichnamigen Konzertprogramm ging sie 2006 mit dem Orchester im deutschsprachigen Raum auf Tournee. Im März 2008 veranstalte Hagen in Berlin eine Aufklärungsshow, die sie später über das Internet publizierte (Nina Hagen unzensiert).

Dort kritisierte sie öffentlich die Medien, die ihrer Meinung nach nicht
verfassungsgerecht über aktuelle Ereignisse in der Politik und Wirtschaft berichteten. Am 17. Mai 2008 präsentierte Nina Hagen auf dem Wiener Life Ball den Song Kinky Melody, der auch auf einer CD des Modelabels Agent Provocateur erschien. Am 18. März 2010 erschien Hagens Autobiographie mit dem Titel Bekenntnisse.

Nina Hagen engagiert sich für die Entschädigung der Duogynon-Opfer. Sie ist Fördermitglied der Coordination gegen Bayer-Gefahren. Am 10. September 2011 trat Nina Hagen im Programm der Freiheit statt Angst-Demonstration für Bürgerrechte auf dem Berliner Alexanderplatz auf. Am 31. Januar 2012 fand in Berlin die Premierenveranstaltung des Patientenverfügungs-Kinospots der Berliner Irren-Offensive statt. Der Kinospot mit Hagen wurde unter anderem mit Aufklebern, auf denen ihr Konterfei und der Slogan „Geisteskrank? Ihre eigene Entscheidung!“ zu sehen ist, beworben und erhielt im April 2012 aufgrund diverser Differenzen einen neuen Abspann.

Kontroversen

In der österreichischen Spätabend-Diskussionssendung Club 2 vom 9. August 1979 zum Thema „Was ist los mit der Jugendkultur?“ erregte Nina Hagen großes öffentliches Aufsehen, als sie vor laufender Kamera – zwar angezogen, aber explizit – verschiedene Stellungen zur weiblichen Masturbation demonstrierte. Der Diskussionsleiter, Dieter Seefranz, musste deswegen später als Gastgeber der Sendung zurücktreten.

In der Talkshow „Menschen bei Maischberger“ vom 6. September 2005 trat Hagen als Wahlkämpferin für die Grünen auf und wurde daraufhin von Jutta Ditfurth als esoterisch durchgeknallt bezeichnet. Daraufhin äußerte Nina Hagen: „Ich finde es furchtbar, was diese dicke Frau mit mir macht. Jutta Ditfurth ist eine blöde, blöde Kuh. Mit dir werde ich nie wieder reden in der Öffentlichkeit!“

Am 30. Oktober 2007 erregte Nina Hagen abermals in der Sendung „Menschen bei Maischberger“ Aufsehen durch ihre Äußerungen und ihr Diskussionsverhalten. In der Sendung zum Thema „Ufos, Engel, Außerirdische – sind wir nicht allein?“ äußerte sie Mitgefühl für die angeblich von Außerirdischen entführten Menschen, sprach von „satanischem Einfluss“ in der Welt und provozierte den ebenfalls anwesenden Physiker und Wissenschaftsjournalisten Joachim Bublath, nachdem dieser Skepsis an der Existenz von Außerirdischen oder Esoterik geäußert hatte, mit Grimassen und Beleidigungen zum Verlassen der Live-Sendung. Moderatorin Sandra Maischberger erklärte schließlich: „...und habe, mit Verlaub, Nina, das Gefühl, dass wahnsinnig viel in Deinem Kopf wirklich durcheinander geht...“

Persönliches

1981 brachte Hagen ihre Tochter Cosma Shiva zur Welt. Der Vater ist der 1988 verstorbene niederländische Gitarrist Ferdinand Karmelk. 1987 heiratete Hagen in einer „Punkhochzeit“ auf Ibiza den damals 17-jährigen Musiker „Iroquois“ aus der Londoner Hausbesetzer-Szene. Nach nur einer Woche trennte sich das Paar wieder.

1989 war sie mit dem Franzosen Frank Chevalier liiert, aus dieser Beziehung stammt ein Sohn. Im Mai 1996 heiratete Hagen den 15 Jahre jüngeren David Lynn. Das Paar trennte sich im Jahre 2000. Im Januar 2004 heiratete Hagen den 22 Jahre jüngeren dänischen Sänger Lucas Alexander Breinholm. Die Trennung erfolgte im Januar 2005. Von 2005 bis 2010 war Hagen mit einem 28 Jahre jüngeren Physiotherapeuten aus Kanada liiert. Seit 1982 ist Hagen Vegetarierin. Sie ließ sich im August 2009 in Schüttorf von Pastor Karl-Wilhelm ter Horst evangelisch-reformiert taufen.

Diskografie

Die Anzahl sämtlicher weltweit erschienener Platten- und CD-Veröffentlichungen, auf denen Hagens Gesang zu hören ist, dürfte bei annähernd 500 liegen. Das ‚Nina-Hagen-Archiv‘ zeigte im Oktober 2005 206 Vinylplatten, 180 CDs und 30 Audiocassetten, sowie 21 Videokassetten und 12 DVDs.

Biografia

Nina Hagen nasce no lado leste de Berlim em 1955, filha da atriz Eva-Maria Hagen e do escritor Hans Oliva-Hagen. O padrasto de Nina era o compositor Wolf Biermann. Inicialmente, ela queria ser atriz, mas, sem nenhum motivo aparente, sua solicitação de estudos foi negada na escola de teatro.
A música New York New York que Nina Hagen gravou, não é a mesma do Frank Sinatra. De Sinatra, Nina gravou uma versão punk e em alemão de My Way.

Em 1986 participou da gravação de "Garota De Berlim" da banda brasileira Tokyo, que era comandada por Supla.

1955: Nasce a cantora Nina Hagen

Nascida em Berlim Oriental no dia 11 de março de 1955, Nina Hagen começou cedo a carreira de atriz e cantora. Em 1976 ela emigrou para a então Alemanha Ocidental.

"Muito boa noite, minhas senhoras e meus senhores! Eu os saúdo cordialmente no nosso programa de televisão de hoje e lhes desejo uma excelente recepção." Com estas palavras bem comportadas, Nina Hagen saudava em 1978 os ouvintes do seu álbum de estreia. A canção TV Glotzer (tradução livre: "Consumidor de tevê") tornou-se o seu primeiro sucesso na então Alemanha Ocidental. O tom comportado ficou restrito, naturalmente, à saudação inicial do disco.

Quando Nina Hagen lançou o TV Glotzer, em 1978, ela já havia percorrido uma carreira agitada, como atriz e como cantora, na Alemanha Oriental (RDA). Ela nasceu em Berlim Oriental, no dia 11 de março de 1955. Sua mãe, Eva Maria Hagen, era uma conhecida atriz de teatro e de cinema. Seu padrasto era o poeta, compositor e dissidente Wolf Biermann. Já com a idade de 17 anos, Nina Hagen obteve os primeiros sucessos com a sua voz marcante. Com as bandas Automobil e Fritzens Dampferband, ela fazia turnês pelos países do Leste. Em 1974, foi escolhida como a melhor cantora jovem da RDA.

Quando o governo alemão-oriental baniu seu padrasto, Wolf Biermann, em 1976, ela o acompanhou para o Ocidente. Um ano depois, apresentou em Berlim a sua Nina Hagen Band: "No verão do ano passado, andei perambulando por Londres e conheci uma banda feminina, que achei excelente. A cantora tem apenas 16 anos de idade e escreve as letras das músicas do grupo. Com ela, que aliás também é alemã, eu escrevi algumas letras em alemão. Em Berlim, conheci o Potzsch, que foi guitarrista do Lok Kreuzberg. Mostrei para ele as minhas letras e, então, nos juntamos todos".

A marca registrada de Nina Hagen tornou-se o seu jeito punk, os seus textos diretos e agressivos, bem como a sua voz marcante. Às vezes, ela canta com voz rouca, grunhe ao microfone e, então, emite tons suaves num registro de contralto da ópera clássica.

Nina Hagen venera Zarah Leander. Ela deu nova interpretação a inúmeras de suas canções. Mas as duas divas têm pouco em comum. Nina Hagen provoca, choca e adora a confrontação. Críticas, ela nunca aceitou de bom grado, desde o início da carreira.

Escândalos e proteção aos animais

A apresentação pública mais espetacular de Nina Hagen foi em 1979, na televisão austríaca. Sem pudor, ela demonstrou diante das câmeras o que as mulheres tinham de fazer para atingir o orgasmo.

Desde o nascimento da sua filha Cosma, a cantora é uma ufóloga convicta. Quando estava grávida de quatro meses, Nina Hagen afirma ter visto um disco voador. No final dos anos 1980, mãe e filha mantiveram o seguinte diálogo sobre o assunto:

– O que você acha, Cosma... De onde você veio antes que você permitisse que a sua mãe manifestasse o seu corpo fisicamente?

– Não estou te entendendo.

– Quero dizer, de onde você veio, antes de chegar à Terra, antes que eu ficasse grávida de você e te trouxesse à Terra?

– De Deus.

Nos anos 1990, Nina Hagen viajou várias vezes à Índia, buscou lá um guru e arrecadou donativos na Alemanha para um hospital indiano. Em Colônia, na Alemanha, ela apoia um asilo de doentes terminais. Além disso, é engajada na proteção aos animais.

No ano 2000, Nina Hagen provocou manchetes na imprensa, quando fez com que a autobiografia da sua mãe fosse recolhida e destruída, só porque haviam sido publicadas nela algumas das suas cartas e fotos privadas. Não havia nada de escandaloso nelas, mas Nina não abre mão da privacidade em benefício de ninguém, nem da própria mãe.

ES: Nina Hagen, Catharina "Nina" Hagen (nacida en Berlín Este el 11 de marzo de 1955) es una cantante y actríz alemana, famosa por su mezcla de estilo punk y canto operístico.

Biografía

Hija de Hans Hagen, un guionista de origen judío, y de Eva-Maria Hagen, una actriz y cantante, nació en Berlín Este cuando Berlín y la actual Alemania estaban divididos en dos partes.

Su padre murió cuando ella era tan sólo una niña, y su madre contrajo matrimonio con Wolf Biermann, un cantautor. Su padrastro fue acusado varias veces de contrarrevolucionario en la entonces República Democrática Alemana, por realizar críticas y burlas contra el régimen.

Nina aprendió ballet a temprana edad y demostró sorprendente habilidad como cantante, siendo considerada una niña prodigio por sus interpretaciones de ópera. Dejó el colegio cuando cursaba el décimo curso y se unió a la banda de covers Fritzens Dampferband.

Carrera Musical

Años 70

Nina Hagen fue miembro de la banda Automobil, la cual tuvo una buena aceptación en la República Democrática Alemana. En 1976 su padrastro, Wolf Biermann, cantautor y artista de conocidas opiniones contrarias al gobierno de la RDA, fue invitado a presentarse en un espectáculo televisado al otro lado del telón de acero: en Colonia, Alemania Occidental. Pero el gobierno de Alemania Oriental le advirtió que no podría llevar a su familia y se le impediría volver a la RDA si cruzaba la frontera. Pese a esto, Biermann viajó a la RFA y ejecutó su presentación televisiva; cuando las autoridades de la RDA se negaron a permitirle repasar la frontera, su esposa, Eva-Maria Hagen protestó públicamente por este impedimento. Nina Hagen, ya convertida en estrella musical juvenil, se unió a la protesta de su madre y advirtió entonces que seguiría los pasos de su padrastro en lo musical y lo político, pero dentro de la RDA; ante esta situación las autoridades germanoorientales otorgaron el permiso de salida a toda la familia Biermann-Hagen, pero sin opción de retorno.

En 1977 Nina Hagen formó en la RFA la banda The Nina Hagen Band con la que un año después grabaría el disco homónimo que incluye temas como "TV-Glotzer (White Punks On Dope)" (un cover de The Tubes) y "Auf'm Bahnhof Zoo".

Durante una subsecuente gira europea, Hagen decide marcharse de la banda, aunque seguiría cumpliendo con el contrato para grabar un segundo álbum en 1979. Unbehagen (que en español significa «incomodidad» o «inquietud») fue eventualmente producido con grabaciones que la banda hacía en Berlín y con las partes vocales que Nina grababa en California. Éste incluyó el tema "African Reggae" y "Lucky Number", un cover de Lene Lovich.

Mientras tanto, la persona pública de Nina Hagen fue llamando la atención de los medios de comunicación masiva. Protagonizó un escándalo durante una aparición en un talk show austriaco llamado Club 2, donde simuló una masturbación. Ella además participó en la película Cha Cha junto al holandés leyenda del rock, Herman Brood y su amiga Lene Lovich.

Años 80

En 1982 Hagen realiza su primer disco como solista: NunSexMonkRock, una disonante mezcla de punk, funk y ópera; y ese mismo año comienza una gira mundial con No Problem Orchestra.

En 1983 graba el álbum Angstlos e incluye un pequeño tour europeo. Para este tiempo las apariciones públicas de Nina Hagen se hacían extrañas y era frecuente que en sus discusiones incluyera temas relacionados con Dios, los extraterrestres y con su postura social y política. También se declaraba defensora de los derechos de los animales.

Del álbum Angstlos se publicó una versión en inglés llamada Fearless (en español: «Intrépido») que generó dos de los máximos hits que se escucharon en las discotecas norteamericanas: "Zarah" (un cover de la canción "Ich weiss, es wird einmal ein Wunder geschehen" de Zarah Leander) y el éxito de la opera/punk/disco, "New York, New York" (que llegó al top 9 en el Billboard). Esta canción es diametralmente opuesta al clásico del mismo título cantado por Frank Sinatra y Liza Minnelli, y posiblemente por evitar confusiones es citada por algunas fuentes como "New York, N.Y.". La cantante era tan célebre en esta época, que en 1985 participó en el famoso concierto colectivo Rock in Rio.

También en 1985 la estrella alemana lanzó Nina Hagen In Ekstasy; este álbum no tuvo el éxito del anterior aunque generó algunos hits como "Universal Radio" y la versión punk de "My Way" (tema popularizado por Frank Sinatra).Dos años después como celebración por sus 18 años con el punk graba Punk Wedding EP. Realiza un nuevo álbum en 1989 al que llamó simplemente Nina Hagen, el cual fue acompañado por otro tour europeo.

Años 90

Nina Hagen se muda a París con su hija Cosma Shiva, donde vive toda la década. En 1991 con un nuevo disco llamado Street comienza una nueva gira por el viejo continente. Un año después conduce un programa televisivo en la cadena alemana RTLplus. En 1993 realiza Revolution Ballroom y dos años más tarde íntegramente en alemán Freud Euch, grabado en inglés como Beehappy en 1996. Este mismo año Hagen colabora con el productor de música electrónica Christopher Franke para la canción de la película Tenchi Muyo! in Love titulada "Alchemy of Love". Durante esta etapa Hagen mantuvo su personalidad chocante con atuendos y coreografías inusuales; en 1994 acudió a un programa de televisión en España mostrando sus pechos bajo una blusa de tul y luciendo una cola a modo de caballo.

En 1998 Hagen condujo un show semanal de ciencia ficción para el canal British Sci-Fi, y al año siguiente grabó el álbum Namah Shivay, el cual fue distribuido exclusivamente en Internet. Además cantó "Witness" en el álbum Adios de la banda de rock industrial KMFDM.

En 1999 grabó junto al Ensemble Modern, Max Raabe y bajo la dirección de HK Gruber, una aclamada nueva versión de La ópera de los tres centavos (Die Dreigroschenoper), ópera de Bertolt Brecht y Kurt Weill, en la cual interpretó el papel de Mrs. Peachum con gran calidad.

Década de 2000

En 2000, su tema "Schön ist die Welt" fue la canción oficial de la Expo 2000. "Der Wind hat mir ein Lied erzählt", otro cover de Zarah Leander, se convertiría en su nuevo hit ese mismo año. En febrero de 2001 realiza el álbum The Return of the Mother, acompañado por un nuevo tour en su país natal. Ese mismo año colabora con Rosenstolz y Marc Almond en el single "Total eclipse/Die schwarze Witwe that reached #22".

Hagen da voz al personaje de Sally en el doblaje al alemán de The Nightmare Before Christmas, película de Tim Burton. Además colabora con otras bandas como OOMPH! en el tema "Fieber". Más recientemente junto a Apocalyptica hizo un cover de la canción "Seemann" de la banda alemana Rammstein.

Como actriz ha salido recientemente en un polémico spot de protesta junto con Pamela Anderson, en contra del uso de las pieles animales en general, y en los aviones en particular.

_____________________________________________________________________

GB: Nina Hagen, Catharina "Nina" Hagen (born 11 March 1955) is a German singer and actress. She has performed throughout the world for over 40 years.

Early years

Nina Hagen was born in the former East Berlin, East Germany, the daughter of Hans Hagen (also known as Hans Oliva-Hagen), a scriptwriter, and Eva-Maria Hagen (née Buchholz), an actress and singer. Her paternal grandfather died in the Sachsenhausen concentration camp (her father was Jewish). Her parents divorced when she was two years old, and growing up she saw her father infrequently. At age four, she began to study ballet, and was considered an opera prodigy by the time she was nine.

When Hagen was 11, her mother married Wolf Biermann, an anti-establishment singer-songwriter. Biermann's political views later influenced young Hagen.

Hagen left school at age sixteen, and went to Poland, where she began her career. After that, she returned to Germany and joined the cover band Fritzens Dampferband (Fritzen's Steamboat Band), together with Achim Mentzel and others. She added songs by Janis Joplin and Tina Turner to the "allowable" set lists during shows.

From 1972 to 1973, Hagen enrolled in the crash-course performance program at The Central Studio for Light Music in East Berlin. Upon graduation, she formed the band Automobil.

Music career

1970s

In East Germany, she performed with the band Automobil, becoming one of the country's best-known young stars. Her most famous song from the early part of her career was "Du hast den Farbfilm vergessen" (You forgot the colour film), "a subtle dig mocking the sterile, gray, Communist state," in 1974. Her musical career in the GDR was cut short, however, when she and her mother left the country in 1976, following the expulsion of her stepfather.

The circumstances surrounding the family's emigration were exceptional: Biermann was granted permission to perform a televised concert in Cologne, but denied permission to re-cross the border to his adopted home country. Hagen submitted an application to leave the country. In it, she claimed to be Biermann's biological daughter, and threatened to become the next Wolf Biermann if not allowed to rejoin her father. Just four days later her request was granted, and she settled in Hamburg, where she was signed to a CBS-affiliated record label. Her label advised her to acclimatise herself to Western culture through travel, and she arrived in London during the height of the punk rock movement. Hagen was quickly taken up by a circle that included The Slits and Sex Pistols.

Back in Germany by mid-1977, Hagen formed the Nina Hagen Band in West Berlin's Kreuzberg district. In 1978 they released their self-titled debut album,Nina Hagen Band, which included the single "TV-Glotzer" (a cover of "White Punks on Dope" by The Tubes, though with entirely different German lyrics), and "Auf'm Bahnhof Zoo", about West Berlin's then-notorious Berlin Zoologischer Garten station. The album also included a version of "Rangehn" ("Go for It"), a song she had previously recorded in East Germany, but with different music.

Hagen in 2003

The debut album gained significant attention throughout Germany and abroad, both for its hard rock sound and for Hagen's theatrical vocals, far different from the straightforward singing of her East German recordings. However, relations between Hagen and the other band members deteriorated over the course of the subsequent European tour, and Hagen decided to leave the band in 1979, though she was still under contract to produce a second album. This LP, Unbehagen (which in German also means "discomfort" or "unease"), was eventually produced with the band recording their tracks in Berlin and Hagen recording the vocals in Los Angeles. It included the single "African Reggae" and a cover of Lene Lovich's "Lucky Number". The other band members sans Hagen, soon developed a successful independent musical career as Spliff.

Meanwhile, Hagen's public persona was steadily creating media uproar. She became infamous for an appearance on an Austrian evening talk show called Club 2, on 9 August 1979, on the topic of youth culture, when she demonstrated (while clothed, but explicitly) various female masturbation positions and became embroiled in a heated argument with another panelist. The talk show host had to step down following this controversy.

She also acted with Dutch rocker Herman Brood and singer Lene Lovich in the 1979 film Cha Cha.

1980s

Hagen in 1980

A European tour with a new band in 1980 was cancelled, and Hagen turned to the United States. A limited-edition 10-inch EP was released on vinyl that summer in the U.S. Two songs from her first album Nina Hagen Band were on the A side, and two songs from her second album Unbehagen were on the B-side. All four songs were sung in German, although two had English titles and the other two were covers of English-language songs with new German lyrics.

In late 1980, Hagen discovered she was pregnant, broke up with the father-to-be Ferdinand Karmelk, and moved to Los Angeles. Her daughter, Cosma Shiva Hagen, was born in Santa Monica on 17 May 1981. In 1982, Hagen released her first English-language album: NunSexMonkRock, a dissonant mix of punk, funk, reggae, and opera. She then went on a world tour with the No Problem Orchestra.

In 1983, she released the album Angstlos and a minor European tour. By this time, Hagen's public appearances were becoming stranger and frequently included discussions of God, UFOs, her social and political beliefs, animal rights and vivisection, and claims of alien sightings. The English version of Angstlos, Fearless, generated two major club hits in America, "Zarah" (a cover of the Zarah Leander (No. 45 USA) song "Ich weiss, es wird einmal ein Wunder geschehen") and the disco/punk/opera song, "New York New York" (No. 9 USA). During 1984 Hagen spent a lot of time in London and UK based MusicSzene magazine chief-editor Wilfried Rimensberger, in conjunction with Spree Film, produced a first TV feature on her and what was remaining from London's 70 Punk movement induced by artist and model Frankie Stein.

Her 1985 album In Ekstase fared less well, but did generate club hits with "Universal Radio" (No. 39 USA) and a cover of "Spirit in the Sky" and also featured a 1979 recording of her hardcore punk take on Paul Anka's "My Way", which had been one of her signature live tunes in previous years. She performed songs from this album during the 1985 version of Rock in Rio. Wilfried Rimensberger and award-winning film director Lothar Spree produced a TV documentary for German Television ZDF. This was followed by a launch of Nina's UFO fashion underwear at anti-SAFT in Zurich, where again Rimensberger joined her up with New Romantic icon Steve Strange performing on stage. Simultaneously fashion photographer Hannes Schmid produced a Nina Hagen cover for German Cosmopolitan magazine. This also coincided with leading music publications like BRAVO and MusicSzene running cover stories that all put Hagen back on the forefront of something that in retrospective became a final highpoint of what the punk movement was all about. At the end of 1986, her contract with CBS was over and she released the Punk Wedding EP independently in 1987, a celebration of her marriage to a 17-year-old punk nicknamed 'Iroquois'. It followed an independent 1986 one-off single with Lene Lovich, "Don't Kill the Animals". In 1989, Hagen released the album, Nina Hagen, which was backed up by another German tour.

In 1989 she had a relationship with Frank Chevallier from France, with whom she has a son, Otis Chevallier-Hagen.

1990s

In 1998, Nina Hagen recorded the official club anthem Eisern Union for FC Union Berlin. (supporters chanting)

In the 1990s, Hagen lived in Paris with her daughter Cosma Shiva and son Otis. In 1991 she toured Europe in support of her new album Street. In 1992 Hagen became the host of a TV show on RTLplus. Also in the same year (1992) she collaborated with Adamski on the European smash and minor UK hit single "Get Your Body". The following year, she released Revolution Ballroom. In 1994, Hagen starred in the acclaimed San Francisco Goethe Institut's "The Seven Addictions and Five Professions of Anita Berber", playing the singer version of "Anita" alongside dancer Jennifer Pieren who portrayed the other "professions" of "Anita".

In May 1996, she married David Lynn, who is fifteen years younger, but divorced him in the beginning of 2000. In 1997 she collaborated with German hip hop musician Thomas D.

In 1998, Hagen became the host of a weekly science fiction show on the British Sci-Fi Channel, in addition to embarking on another tour of Germany. In 1999, she released the devotional album Om Namah Shivay, which was distributed exclusively online and included an unadulterated musical version of the Hare Krishna mantra (in real life she believes that the Hindu incarnation of God known as Krishna was 'the king of Jerusalem'. Krishna is sometimes referred to as "Christ"). She also provided vocals to "Witness" and "Bereit" on KMFDM's Adios.

2000s

In 2000, her song "Schön ist die Welt" became the official song of Expo 2000. Another cover of a Zarah Leander song "Der Wind hat mir ein Lied erzählt" was a minor hit the same year. The album Return of the Mother was released in February 2001, accompanied by another German tour. Hagen, a supporter of HIV/AIDS denialism, wrote the song "Handgrenade" on the album Return of the Mother for the controversial HIV/AIDs denialist Christine Maggiore. In 2001 she collaborated with Rosenstolz and Marc Almond on the single "Total eclipse"/"Die schwarze Witwe" that reached No. 22 in Germany.

Hagen dubbed the voice of Sally in the German release of Tim Burton's The Nightmare before Christmas, and she has also done voice work on the movie Hot Dogs by Michael Schoemann. Hagen has been featured on songs by other bands, for instance on Oomph!'s song "Fieber". She did a cover of Rammstein's "Seemann" with Apocalyptica. Later albums include Big Band Explosion (2003), in which she sang numerous swing covers with her then husband, Danish singer and performer, Lucas Alexander. This was followed by Heiß, a greatest hits album. The following album, Journey to the Snow Queen, is more of an audio book — she reads the Snow Queen fairy tale with Tchaikovsky's The Nutcracker in the background.

Fever

Fiebre

ES: Méteme el dedo en la garganta; Méteme el dedo en la garganta; Méteme el dedo en la garganta; Hasta que yo - hasta que yo - hasta que yo pueda vomitar.

Presióname la garganta con la cuchilla; Presióname la garganta con la cuchilla; Presióname la garganta con la cuchilla; Hasta que yo - hasta que yo - hasta que yo pueda sobrevivir.

¿Sientes el alma, la fiebre, el poder? ¿Sientes el deseo, la fiebre, la noche?

¿Sientes el alma, la fiebre, el poder? ¿Sentirás el deseo, la fiebre hoy en la noche?

Méteme el dedo en la garganta; Méteme el dedo en la garganta; Méteme el dedo en la garganta; Hasta que yo - hasta que yo - hasta que yo pueda vomitar.

Ponme la soga al cuello; Ponme la soga al cuello; Ponme la soga al cuello

Hasta que yo - hasta que yo - hasta que yo pueda sobrevivir.

¿Sientes el alma, la fiebre, el poder? ¿Sientes el deseo, la fiebre, la noche?

¿Sientes el alma, la fiebre, el poder? ¿Sentirás el deseo, la fiebre hoy en la noche?

¿Sientes el poder en tus manos? ¿Tienes tu corazón bien sujeto al amarre?

¿Y sientes la noche en tu alma? ¿Tienes el mundo en tu cabeza?

¿Sientes el alma, la fiebre, el poder? ¿Sientes el deseo, la fiebre, la noche?

¿Sientes el alma, la fiebre, el poder? ¿Sentirás el deseo, la fiebre hoy en la noche?

Fever

GB: Stick your finger down my throat; Stick your finger down my throat; Stick your finger down my throat; Until I - until I - until I can vomit;

Press the blade to my throat; Press the blade to my throat;

Press the blade to my throat; Until I - until I - until I can survive you;

Do you feel the soul, the fever, the power? Do you feel the longing, the fever, the night? Do you feel the soul, the fever, the power? Do you feel the longing, the fever - tonight?

Stick your finger down my throat; Stick your finger down my throat; Stick your finger down my throat; Until I - until I - until I can vomit;

Put the noose around my neck; Put the noose around my neck; Put the noose around my neck; Until I - until I - until I may survive you;

Do you feel the soul, the fever, the power? Do you feel the longing, the fever, the night? Do you feel the soul, the fever, the power? Do you feel the longing, the fever - tonight?

Do you feel the power in your hands? Do you have your heart in a strong grip?*

And do you feel the night in your soul? Do you have the world in your mind?

Do you feel the soul, the fever, the power? Do you feel the longing, the fever, the night? Do you feel the soul, the fever, the power? Do you feel the longing, the fever - tonight?
