      Guggenmusik (also known as "Guggemoseg", "Guuggemusig" or "Chatzemusig") is a term widely used in the Alemannic region of Switzerland, Austria and southern Germany to designate both a Carnival marching band and the type of music it plays.

      It is a strongly rhythmic music of distinctive style played with brass
      instruments, pipes and drums. Although melodies remain clearly
      recognizable, they are at times played "off-key", intentionally and
      often quite skillfully. Driven by a dominant rhythm section, the music
      sounds twisted and thrilling, very danceable and perfect for spontaneous
      street concerts during the "wild days" of Carnival. Today there are
      many types of Guggenmusik to inspire carnival celebrants. Bands usually
      play well-known pop songs but also folk tunes and children's music.
