Malat Schrammeln

**Malat Schrammeln** is a Vienna-based ensemble keeping the cozy, nostalgic spirit of *Schrammelmusik* alive. Rooted in the tradition of 19th-century Austrian folk music popularized by the Schrammel brothers, this group blends accordion, fiddle, guitar, and heartfelt vocals to revive classic *Wienerlieder* (Viennese songs). Their releases—like *Wiener Lieder* and *Liebes Wien, du Stadt der Lieder*—are love letters to their hometown, mixing waltz rhythms, cheeky humor, and bittersweet melodies that evoke cobblestone streets and wine-soaked tavern singalongs. While honoring the old-school charm of the genre, they sprinkle in subtle modern twists, ensuring their music feels timeless rather than stuck in the past. Catch them at a *Heuriger* (wine pub) or folk festival, and you’ll swear you’ve time-traveled to a prewar Vienna—minus the horse-drawn carriages.
