Raabe developed an interest in the sound of German dance and film music of the 1920s and 1930s, such as the songs of the Comedian Harmonists, from seeing old films on television and from his parents’ record collection. He formally studied music at the Berlin University of the Arts, intending originally to become a baritone opera singer. He and eleven other students formed the Palast Orchester in 1985. The ensemble initially used music arrangements that Raabe found at various flea markets. The orchestra practiced these arrangements for one year without any public engagements or performances. The orchestra first performed publicly at the 1987 Berliner Theaterball, in the lobby as a secondary act, but with such success that the audience left the ballroom to hear the orchestra’s performance in the lobby. Raabe and the Palast Orchester had a hit with his 1992 original, Schlager-styled song “Kein Schwein ruft mich an” (“Nobody ever calls me”, almost literal translation: “No sow calls me”), a pop song in 1920s style.

Max Raabe (born Matthias Otto, December 12, 1962, Lünen, North Rhine- Westphalia) is a German folk singer. He is best known as the founder and leader of the Palast Orchester.
