The Kern-Buam was an Austrian folk music group from Gradenberg in the municipality of Köflach in Styria . It was founded at the end of the 1940s and existed with changing line-up until the 2000s.
The beginnings
The music group was founded at the end of the 1940s by the conductor and music teacher Adolf Kern and his sons Sepp , Hubert and Erich Kern. Another member of the music group was cousin Hans Mitterhumer. The hallmark of the group was the Styrian hat with a feather, which the members wore during their performances.
Their breakthrough came with the piece of music Der Steirische Custom , with which they launched the Styrian radio talent competition Show what you can in 1954 . won. In 1956 the first record was published.
history
In 1957 father Adolf had to leave the group due to illness and was replaced by Willi Fabian. Adolf Kern died in 1961. In the same year the Kern-Buam decided to become professional musicians. For this reason, Willi Fabian left the group. Fritz Pignitter became the new trombonist. In 1963 Hermann Rumpf took over from Hans Mitterhumer. For almost thirty years the line-up remained the same and songs like Die Goaß is weg , I lieg 'im Straßengrab'n , Das Steirische Dengllied , or Der Trosaunenkönig were created. In the 1960s, the humorist Fritz Edtmeier was a frequent companion of the Kern Buam.
In the ORF , there was first the folk music show "Today 'spiel'n the core Buam to" even the first Musikantenstadl they were there.
In 1992 Willi Fabian joined the group as the sixth man. In 1995 Erich Kern left the group and was replaced by Peter Schlatzer. On September 10, 2000, the Kernbuam Museum was opened in a historic West Styrian house at the Schneiderwirt in Voitsberg. In 2003 Adolf Schriebl joined the group as a replacement for Hubert Kern. In 2004 Fritz Pignitter left the group due to illness and was replaced by Alois Sidar, who also played in the Original Ligister Trio . The Kern-Buam celebrated their last anniversary in 2007: 60 years of Kern-Buam .
One of the goals of the Schneiderwirt Trio group, which was founded in 2008 , is to “continue the music of the Kern-Buam”. The founding members are Gottfried Pignitter (born March 25, 1971; son of Fritz Pignitter senior; vocals, accordion), Markus-Erich Kern (born January 16, 1979; grandson of Erich Kern; vocals, guitar, clarinet) and Manfred Pignitter ( * August 12, 1980; nephew of Fritz Pignitter senior; vocals, double bass, trombone).
