Alpine folk is a traditional music genre rooted in the cultural landscapes of the Alpine regions, including Austria, Switzerland, Slovenia, and northern Italy. Characterized by the use of regional dialects, tight vocal harmonies, and distinctive acoustic instruments like the zither, alphorn, harmonika, and schwyzerörgeli, the genre evokes pastoral life, community, and seasonal rhythms. Its melodies often blend playfulness with melancholy, reflecting both festive gatherings and deep-rooted folklore. Whether performed by intimate harp ensembles or robust vocal collectives, alpine folk celebrates regional identity and transmits stories passed down through generations, uniting old-world charm with contemporary reinterpretations.
