Red Warszawa

In 1986 "Lækre" Jens Mondrup and "Heavy" Henning Nymand's teacher played a song by a Polish punk band. They liked it and decided to play it themselves, so they started the band today known as Red Warszawa.{{cite web |url=http://www.rw.dk/ |title=Home |website=rw.dk}} Around 1990 Red Warszawa changed their music style to Heavy Metal, but they still claim that their style is Polish punk because they think it sounds much cooler.

According to the band's website, the name was supposed to mean "Red Warsaw" - red as in the colour red, and Warsaw as in the capital of Poland. But the band members thought that the city was called Warszawa in English - as it is called in both Danish and Polish - so they named their band "Red Warszawa". Red in Danish means save, and because of that, many Danes thought that Red Warszawa was an organisation like Save the Children (Danish: Red Barnet).

Red Warszawa is pronounced as in English red and Danish Warszawa.
