Haindling is the stage name of German musician and composer Hans-Jürgen Buchner, born on May 27, 1944. Buchner is the creative force behind the project's distinctive blend of Bavarian folk music infused with elements ranging from world beats to jazz and rock. Since its formation in the early 1980s, Haindling has become known for creating music that defies simple categorization, embracing regional Bavarian cultural elements and dialect while maintaining a universal appeal through innovative arrangements and an eclectic mix of sounds.

Buchner's Haindling draws not only upon his multi-instrumental talents but also on his deep appreciation for nature and his environment, often reflected in his lyrics and the organic quality of his compositions. Throughout his career, Haindling has released a series of successful albums and soundtracks, including the highly praised “Lang scho nimmer g'sehn.” As a recognized figure in the German music scene, Haindling's work extends to cinema, with Buchner providing scores for a number of films and documentaries, which is captured in releases like “Und überhaupts... (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack).” His contributions to music and culture have not only entertained but also influenced other artists within and beyond Germany's borders.
