Georg Gratzer & beefólk, a group of musicians who define their output as “expressive poetry from the next generation”, was formed in Graz, Austria, in 2001. Inspired by European chamber music and jazz, as well as by Asian sounds, the group’s eclectic style has been dubbed “Zappa-folk”, “chamber-music jazz” and “modern Austrian world music”. The roots of this unique approach lie in the various journeys made by Georg Gratzer to China and India for the study of Chinese instruments like the dizi and the hulusi or the Indian bamboo flute, the bansuri.
Georg Gratzer & beefólk’s energetic and theatrical performances, founded in sophisticated arrangements and technical brilliance, have taken world audiences by storm. The group has participated in major jazz festivals in Europe and has, so far, released three albums.
