Autorenporträt

Peter Pannke studied Sinology, Indology and Comparative Religions in Hamburg, Marburg, Benares and Munich. After many years of travel in the Near East, Africa, Pakistan and India, he settled in Berlin in 1990 as an independent writer and composer. For twenty years he directed a world music show at radio SFB/RBB. As musician and producer he has more than eighty CDs and LPs to his credit. Having studied the ancient tradition of Dhrupad he went on to create a personal style of singing and founded the band 'Troubadours United', a colourful and proficient troupe of Turkish, Syrian and Indian musicians. A profound connoisseur of oriental music, Peter Pannke has played an important role in the cultural dialogue between Europe and the East.
