Music genre

New folk music was mainly created by young musicians who grew up on the one hand with contemporary music in all its forms (pop, rock, electronic music, world music, etc.) and at the same time with the traditional music of their region. Various approaches emerged, such as connecting the mostly Anglo-American rock and pop styles conveyed by radio and television with regional traditions. The various new social movements such as the environmental , anti-nuclear and peace movements in the 1970s and 1980s played a role in this . Another element of New Folk Music is the demarcation from folk music and popular hits .

history

Early pioneers of later new folk music from the southern German-speaking area were in the 1970s, summarized under the term alpine rock , among others the Tyrolean composer Werner Pirchner (since 1973) the songwriter Fredl Fesl and Biermösl Blosn (since 1976). One of the first groups to reach a large audience with Bavarian texts and a crossover of folk music and pop was Haindling . Willy Michl was one of the first performers to combine blues with Bavarian lyrics . Joy Fleming sang jazz and blues with texts in Mannheim dialect , and Christine Lauterburg yodeled crossover. In Austria, Gerhard Bronner's song Wie a Glock'n (1970) is considered to be the initial spark for Austropop and the Austrian dialect wave of the 1970s. The music for the song came from Hans Salomon and was the theme tune of Bronner's satirical television program The Great Bell. Bronner wrote the text for Marianne Mendt , who had her artistic breakthrough with the interpretation.

Attwenger , who became famous in 1992, should be mentioned among the more experimental bands of new folk music . In the same year the commercial success of Hubert von Goisern and his Alpinkatzen began , which also brought new popularity to the genre as a whole. In 1993 the first oblique Dahoam Festival took place in Munich , and in 1995 the Ridge Walk Festival in Piesendorf ( Pinzgau , Salzburg ).
