Beatbox meets volxmusic | Matakustix | TEDxKlagenfurt HD

This talk was given at a local TEDx event, produced independently of the TED Conferences. Death Schlager…Alternativ Volxmusik…? What?! Matakustix is an extraordinary creative and highly motivated band with a huge potential.. By combining Austrian Folk with e.g. hot Hip Hop Beats, deep bass tunes and an awesome Beatboxing performance they showed in a very refreshing way that borders between the several genres of music are just a construct which can be crossed easily. The band Matakustix created a new music genre, which could easily be described as “alpine folk music 2.0”. In their songs they combine digital music with traditional Austrian music, mix it with English lyrics, Austrian dialect and funky electronic beats. The whole thing is a freaky potpourri of various styles with different nuances and sounds surprisingly good. TEDxKlagenfurt is happy to have them aboard and to support local artists with such huge potential.
