Kraftwerk—the pioneering electronic-music group that débuted greater than half a century in the past —has been touring the U.S., with stops deliberate in Europe this yr. The employees author Kelefa Sanneh calls them one of the influential bands of all time, taking part in a formative position in hip-hop, techno, E.D.M., and far of fashionable music as we all know it. Sanneh picks tracks from Kraftwerk’s repertoire and demonstrates how these sounds trickle out by way of historical past, from Afrika Bambaataa to Coldplay.
