Dagmar Krause is a German singer from Bremen who began her career in the early 1970s and became known through involvement with avant-garde and art-rock groups such as Slapp Happy, Henry Cow and Art Bears. Her voice, characterised by a dramatic, cabaret-inflected timbre, has been applied to Weimar-era cabaret repertoire as well as experimental art-pop and progressive rock, reflecting a career that bridged German cabaret traditions and the UK/European avant-garde.
