Hiking Songs

I'm packing my backpack and taking with me... a songbook! Particularly in the Alpine region, there is a strong tradition of hiking songs, mostly derived from folk songs like soldiers' and farewell songs. The song "Muss I denn zum Städtele hinaus...", famously interpreted by Elvis Presley as "Wooden Heart" in both English and German, made this genre known worldwide! Here you will find the best songbooks for hiking.

Sailor Songs & Shanties

Sailor songs and shanties have recently enjoyed a revival due to the success of Wellerman. This genre is particularly popular in Northern Europe, and with bands like Santiano, who are dedicated to the love of seafaring, it remains ever popular.
