At times of the GDR he sang in churches at least 50 times a year
and his protest songs were essential for surviving in the communist regime of
that time.
So far he has given more than 1000 recitals in Germany, Austria, Switzerland, England, France and Hungary.
When he gave a tape with his recordings to a friend to carry it
to the Bavarian Radio station
he had bad luck - since this man was "IM" (part of the secret service). THis
brough Bomberg
to jail for "political reasons"...
Five years later the Berlin wall fell - and Bomberg slightly
sang different kinds of songs, more poetical kind.
Although there are occasions to sing the "old" protest songs on congresses or
events where this musical
period is estimated.
He recently brought out a new CD with his band, listen to a sample (.mp3): "Herr Binder oder Schlips und Kragen"!
