TRIO – “Da, Da, Da”

Trio celebrated their biggest commercial success in the early 80s during the ‘Neue Deutsche Welle’ (New German Wave). Their signature sound was the programmed Rockbeat from the semi professional Casio-synthesizer, played by Stephan Remmler. Their biggest hit, ‘Da da da’, released in April 1982, was an international success, topping the charts all over Europe, Canada, Brazil, Mexico, Asia. There are more than a hundred cover versions of this song and the song is still frequently used in commercials. The minimalistic concept can be heard at its best on the first album (‘Trio’, 1981). It is considered to be one oft he three most important albums in German pop history. All in all Trio released three studio-albums from 1981 to 1985. They were produced by world-famous musician and Beatles-Collaborator Klaus Voormann who supported their style which reminded him of his work with John Lennon in The Plastic Ono Band. Trio became some kind of cult - and they still are today.
