The only French-speaking Bavarian live music band in Germany
Bergvagabunden is the only Bavarian live music band in Germany that is French-speaking. At corporate events in France, Belgium, Switzerland and Luxembourg, this band also plays the most popular French songs. This prevents the audience from getting bored if they don't know the German songs. That's why the Bergvagabunden play typical traditional music from Germany with yodelling and alphorn before the meal. But after the meal, Bergvagabunden play international hits that are very popular in France. These include many French songs.
