Reggae, Dreigsang, Balkan or Techno - that doesn't matter at Oansno. The 4 Munchner inner city musicians cross the border between folk music and the party scene. With their traditional line-up (helicon, trumpet, accordion and beer wagons) they create powerful, very danceable beats with which they bring the mood to a boil in taverns as well as at pop festivals. Her music and lyrics are shaped by Bavarian beer bliss and the cultural diversity of Munich, the compositions are straightforward, cheeky and direct. With "Oane moan i pack i no" they deliver a modern version of the classic "Oane gehd no" and for the first listeners of this composition it was immediately clear that this song belongs to the Oktoberfest, at the Oiden Wiesn there are Oansno in everyone Case to hear for yourself. In its first year on the stage, Oansno won two coveted prizes, including the Fraunhofer Folk Music Prize sponsored by the city of Munich. For their first EP, the sworn live and full throttle musicians from Oansno dared the unfamiliar route from the stage to the studio and recorded five "delicacies". They did an excellent job of transporting the energy and pressure of their live performances into the studio production.

ISBN 9781610657877. Welcome to the world of international accordion music. This collection contains a sampling of ethnic folk music from Europe and the Americas and forms the foundation of a basic folk accordion repertoire. These songs are from many nations. They are crowd pleasers and they are fun to play. I have played most of these songs in the various bands I have played with over the years. These melodies have stood the test of time, so what are you waiting for? Open the book, get your accordion out and let's play some music! One word about these songs: I generally learn a song and then play it by heart-by memory as opposed to playing it by reading from a sheet of music. I believe this allows for more personal expression and interpretation which can be affected by audience response or the way I feel at the time. You'll notice that on most of the performances on the online audio I didn't play repeats. Because of the limited time available on a disc we found we couldn't fit all the tunes if we played them as written. Written by Bruce Bollerud, June 2007. Online audio available for download.
