Global Kryner

Video above: The famous Oberkrainer group (Freestyle / Pop / Nu-Jazz ), whose main influence was Slavko Avsenik, performs Merci Chery, on the ORF1 TV channel.

As Michael Werner, culture editor of the Stuttgarter Zeitung so well puts it in his statement, "It's been a long time since anyone has reminded us with such virtuosity as Global Kryner, that on the stony path to tomorrow there are still a few hours left of today."

On their http://www.myspace.com/globalkryner site they state:

"...six musicians from widely different fields have joined up to

a) transform the Oberkrainer sound from its beer-tent bliss to a serious world music genre,

b) without losing the musical fun and puns,

c) and to prove that every song, every melody – whether pop, jazz or classical – can be 'krainerized'."
