Inka Bause: "I can't stay calm in this failed policy."

Clothing was rare in the GDR. So the daughter of the country's most successful hit composer went to the tailor before her very first appearance as a singer. He also didn't have much choice.

With the show "Bauer Sucht Frau", which is celebrating its 20th anniversary, and as a hit star, Leipzig-based Inka Basse is successful nationwide. A conversation about good mood songs against dark times, personal hangovers and sage smoke against the AfD.

She just finished the 10th grade when she became the youngest GDR pop singer. And immediately a star. Around 40 years later Inka Bause still loves the stage. But there is an East-West joke.
