Alma have fitted out traditional folk music in some groovy modern clothes, yet without dressing it up as something it isn’t: Julia, Matteo, Marlene, Evelyn and Marie-Theres play the violin, the double bass and the accordion, they sing and yodel, imbued with cheerfulness and humor, with passion and melancholy. Alma’s music triggers emotions, it comes straight from the soul and wants to reach the listeners in the place where their own roots lie hidden. Ever since they started out in 2011,

Their debut album Nativa was released by col legno in 2013, followed by their second album Transalpin in May 2015.

Inspiration für ihre Kompositionen und Bearbeitungen holt sich die Band unter anderem auf ihren zahlreichen Konzertreisen, dies sie bereits von Wien über Skandinavien bis nach Peru geführt haben.
