Jakobisingen // folta & The Goas

/// folta
According to the duo folta, "Music is like a fold in time and we are its garment." What does that mean? Irma-Maria Troy and Markus Prieth navigate through the diversity of folk music, intertwining it with their own stories and thus wrapping it in entirely new garments. With: a passion for sound and a passion for play. And with the joy of doing together what only music can do: creating a fold in time. Because folds are beautiful.

// Die Goas
Die Goas is singular, yet it is a duo. Hans-Peter Falkner plays the Styrian button accordion and Markus Binder plays the guitar. Both sing. Since 1989, the two have been performing under the name of the well-known musicians Attwenger, focusing on more traditional material in this formation: Boarische, Zwiefache, waltzes, landlers, etc. Gstanzl are sung, old folk songs are presented in revised forms, and, depending on the mood, amusing stories are also shared. What’s new: Recently, Die Goas has also started playing some pieces by their distant cousin Attwenger.
