style
With its wide-ranging mix of world music , Bavarian folk music , jazz , pop and classical music , which it combines with cabaret interludes, tap dancing and sometimes absurd puns, the quartet is also known beyond the borders of Bavaria. The thematic bandwidth of her pieces, composed individually or together by all band members, ranges from political and socially critical content to absurd interpersonal entanglements and Dadaist nonsense. All members play several instruments.
