As the day goes on they even add guitars to the band turning the excitement even higher.īecause Oktoberfest is family friendly for most of the day, the bands stick to using traditional brass instruments and don’t use elements like electric guitars until evening time starting at 6pm.

If you are from the United States, Oompah music will sound just like Polka to you as American Polka has more of a German influence than Polka from Europe does. Traditional Polka comes from Czech and Poland and relies more on the accordion while German Oompah has more of a brass band ( Blaskapelle) feel. Germans will tell you NO as the music is German Oompah and definitely not Polka. ![]()
