oompah band
Oktoberfest musical group
An oompah band is a traditional German or Bavarian brass ensemble playing folk music characterized by a rhythmic bass pattern—the "oom" on the downbeat and "pah" on the upbeat.
These bands typically feature tubas, trombones, and trumpets, and are fixtures at beer halls, Oktoberfest celebrations, and German cultural festivals: The oompah band struck up a polka.
