Tears and satisfaction: Andy Borg talks about his expulsion from Musikantenstadl

Andy Borg, 64, is still affected by his sudden expulsion from the well-known “Musikantenstadl” in 2015. As he described in an interview, the decision came to him without any warning. “It was a shock for me,” said Borg, who was the face of this ARD entertainment show for over a decade. The last broadcast took place in Pula, Croatia, and saying goodbye was particularly difficult for him and his wife Birgit. In the upcoming TV program "Congratulations, Andy! - Florian Silbereisen celebrates Andy Borg", which will be broadcast on November 8th at 8:15 p.m. on SWR and MDR television, he reflects on this emotional time and the unforeseen turn in his career.

After the last broadcast, Borg and his wife wanted to enjoy the evening, but had to stop at a lit parking lot to hug each other and cry together. “I told Birgit that we should put the car in the direction of travel,” says Borg, who finds the drastic turn of events painful, but also “satisfaction” after those responsible for his expulsion expected him and his wife with a “bouquet of flowers and cake” after the broadcast while they had already disappeared.

Renaissance of the hit

Andy Borg has been able to celebrate success again in recent years with his “Schlager-Fuß” series on SWR. The hit, characterized by simple, soulful lyrics and catchy melodies, plays a central role in Germany's musical landscape.

The hit reached its peak in the 1960s and 70s with artists such as Peter Alexander and Roy Black, while it experienced a remarkable revival in the 1990s.

In recent years, pop music has gained a new generation of fans through events such as the “Schlager Move” in Hamburg. Hundreds of thousands flock to parades every year that celebrate the lifestyle and community of pop enthusiasts. Today, special artists such as Andrea Berg and Helene Fischer contribute to the popularity of this style of music, which is often mixed with folk music and influences German party pop.

Personal and professional setbacks
