Ursprung Buam
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Ursprung Buam is an Austrian folk music trio from Zillertal, Tyrol. The group consists of brothers Martin Brugger (born December 11, 1976) and Andreas Brugger (born December 29, 1978) and their older cousin, Mannfred Höllwarth (born April 5, 1962). Founded in 1993, the trio is widely considered Austria's number-one folk music group; in 2001, the group won the Austria Music Award - Amadeus in recognition of its status.
Ursprung Buam means "Origin Boys" in the Austro-Bavarian dialect of German; the trio's song lyics are also in this dialect.
Martin Brugger plays the fiddle, and Andreas Brugger the accordion; Höllwarth plays the bass and harp. The group cultivates the art of yodeling in its songs, which focus on the Zillertal region.
