About Nena

Nena's '99 Luftballons' is the most internationally successful German-language pop song ever, reaching number one across Europe and number two in the US. The anti-war anthem defined the Neue Deutsche Welle era and remains an enduring symbol of 1980s Cold War culture. She later reinvented herself as a children's music artist and TV personality.
