Ursprung Buam is an Austrian folk music trio from Zillertal, Tyrol. One of the most popular touring groups in Austria, Ursprung Buam often tours Germany, many places across the European Union, as well as the Tirolean festival scene. They have had over twenty releases since 1998. Most of these albums have held strong positions on the Austrian popular music charts. The group consists of brothers Martin Brugger (born 11 December 1976) and Andreas Brugger (born 29 December 1978) and their older cousin, Mannfred Höllwarth (born 5 April 1962). Founded in 1993, the trio is widely considered Austria's number-one folk music group; in 2001, the group won the Austria Music Award - Amadeus in recognition of its status. On 12 March 2011 they performed "Grande Canale" as Musikantenstadl celebrated their 30-year anniversary of being on TV.

Ursprung Buam means "Origin Boys" in Austro-Bavarian, in which their song lyrics are written as well.

Martin Brugger plays the fiddle, and Andreas Brugger the accordion; Höllwarth plays the bass and harp. The group cultivates the art of yodeling in its songs, which focus on the Zillertal region.
