Beer hall songs

Singalong rhythm for beer halls, sausages and festival tables.

Topic

What it is

Beer hall songs are designed to be joined, not analysed. Strong beats, simple choruses and familiar melodies make them useful for communal eating and drinking scenes.

History

Where it comes from

The sound grew from tavern bands, folk dances, military brass and later Oktoberfest entertainment. It is more social function than strict genre.
