Die Kathreiner Musikanten
80s and 90s
Manfred Ranak, the leader of "Die Kathreiner", continues the tradition and has brought new members to the group. We love both the old and new formations.
Album
Bombenschwung für Alt und Jung (1983)
Swing Explosion for Young and Old
The title is exactly what you get from this ensemble.The polkas and waltzes include that "Kathreiner Swing" making your foot tap uncontrollably.
All but two of the titles on this album were written by Manfred Wiener who defined the "Kathreiner Musikanten Sound" of the 80s and 90s.
Song
Wir Spielten Heut für Sie - Yo, We Played for you Today
Crushing the A and B sections of this polka, the bass and accordion Oberkrainer rhythm glide us through. Wait, then two clarinets start the B section which swings hard. Love it when the clarinets are doubled up. Finally the ensemble sings "Hey we were here and played now we are out." Enjoy!
