Cochise

Band, DE
Folk, World and Rock

German band from Dortmund (1979-1988) named by a famous indian apache chieftain. With their catchy but also political and quite critical folk music with german lyrics they reached in a short time one of the leading positions of the ecological and peace movement in Germany. The formative phase of the band was 1984 until 1987. Within this 10 years of appearance in the scene this Polit-Rocker played more than 1.000 gigs mainly in the are of the german language and sold with quite less presence in the communication media a huge amount of approximately 120.000 units of their nine albums. After the split mastermind Pit Budde appeared with follow-up projects like Puma X (1990, supported by members of Cochise) and the program: Durch die Wüste - Songs von Cochise together with the turkish musician and vocalist Ahmet Bektas (2007).
