Oom-pah, Oompah or Umpapa is the rhythmical sound of a deep brass instrument in a band, a form of background ostinato.
The oom-pah sound is usually made by the tuba alternating between the root (tonic) of the chord and the 5th (dominant) — this sound is said to be the oom. The pah is played on the off-beats by higher-pitched instruments such as the trumpets, horns or trombone. Oompah is often associated with Volkstümliche Musik, a form of popular German music, and with polka. In triple time genres such as the waltz it is oom-pah-pah

We play a range of traditional Oktoberfest music, mixed up with classic pop songs,
including:

- Ein Prosit
- Rosamunde / Beer Barrel Polka
- In Munchen
- Tritsch Tratsch Polka
- The Can-Can
- Delilah
- Is This The Way To Amarillo

…and many more – all in our fabulous Oompah-band style!
