After a break of several years, Titlá are back - with folk music of their own kind: old and new songs, rustic and heartfelt ones, songs in Pusterer dialect .... Also back in the old cast: Herman Kühebacher (bagpipes, flutes, mandolin, vocal) EduardoRolandelli (guitar, vocal), Toni Taschler (accordion, tuba, vocal) and Peter Rifesser (violin, concertina, voice). New is Peter Paul Hofmann (contrabass, Styrian Diatonic Button Box, percussion). The musicians from the Pustertal (a German speaking valley in South Tyrol, Italy) returned to their roots: They play folk music without touching fears, i.e. they are open to new ideas and all sorts of influences.
The name of the group "Titlá" means “go ahead, just do it”. It was the answer of ahost of a tavern to the former question of Herman and Edi, if they could play for a while.

”They wanted to play contemporary folk music and met so the taste of the South Tyrolian people. The song: '(...) Mai Madele, mai Tschurele '(...) became a sort of anthem for Tyrolean Folk fans "
(from: The 20th Century in South Tyrol, Volume V)
