Himno Alemán Song and performance 2007 Himno Alemán was developed out of a performance at the “lugar a dudas“ in Cali, Colombia. >> Listen to Himno Alemán 
Stephan Kurr invited the band Los Expresidentes to the gallery and shortly before the public arrived, he auditioned the German National Hymn. Then he asked the band to accompany him and adapt the hymn stepwise in their style. This “first public rehearsal” was ended after about 30 minutes, when the majority of the expected audience was present. Two days later Stephan Kurr and Los Expresidentes met again in the studio of Universidad del Valle de Cali to continue their rehearsal until the German anthem was transformed into a Colombian Bolero and recorded.   Himno Alemán was created for the artist’s exchange and exhibition project „The Intricate Journey“ In the exhibition „The Intricate Journey“ done in the NGBK, Berlin, there was the poster announcing the performance in Cali on display, as well as a vitrine with photos and fan articles and a video, showing the process of transformation of the German National Hymn into Himno Alemán.
