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.
