with the CD “bunt” the austrian band Folkshilfe has won the 26th Amadeus Austrian Music Awards 2026.

folkshilfe have been doing what they’ve been known for doing for over 10 years now: pop music that doesn’t fit into any pigeonhole. Their unique mix of accordion, synthesizer, and dialect appeals to people of all ages and stages of life.

Ever since their latest Amadeus nomination for their successful album “Vire” (with hits such as “Schena Mensch,” “Hau di her,” and “Najo eh”), one thing has been clear: folkshilfe are riding an unstoppable wave of success. They not only inspire the radio landscape, but also fill concert halls throughout the German-speaking world with their sold-out concerts.
