Can was a pioneering German experimental rock band formed in Cologne in 1968 by Holger Czukay (bass), Irmin Schmidt (keyboards), Michael Karoli (guitar), and Jaki Liebezeit (drums). Blending avant-garde, jazz, and world music influences, they crafted a unique sound that became a cornerstone of the krautrock movement. With vocalists like Malcolm Mooney and Damo Suzuki, Can produced seminal albums such as *Tago Mago* (1971) and *Ege Bamyasi* (1972). Their innovative approach to improvisation and recording has left a lasting impact on genres ranging from post-punk to electronic music.
