what are heidi’s granddaughters up to? 12 renowned female swiss singers representing different generations, music styles and ethnic backgrounds spice up traditional folkmusic from all over switzerland with its four official languages and countless dialects. arranged and produced by the new york based swiss singer and guitarist ELIANE, SWISS MISS is a whole new swiss experience celebrating both - tradition and innovation.
alphorn loops duelling with human beat box grooves, swiss hackbrett meets hot nyc rhythm section, a grumpy farmer family works their field to reggae sounds and did you know that the swiss had the blues as early as in the 18th century?
what started out with some big ideas scribbled on a napkin in a new yorker bar, had soon developed into a major project. eversince ANDRA BORLO and ELIANE have organized several tours in the us, argentina and switzerland, concerts in canada etc.
after all these adventures SWISS MISS now presents the CD! to check it out click on the music link to your left!
“ Thank you very much for the prompt delivery of the CD. I have listened to it three times in a row! Awesome! Much luck and success.”
Susanne
“ Great music, witty arrangements - a record out of the ordinary -I absolutely recommend it!”
Carlo
“ I got the CD a few days ago. Really very beautiful! It all sounds so enticingly South American and Brazilian, that we were considering taking a Swiss German class...almost....
Great! Fideri and best regards. “
Jan
“ Traditional Folk music is not really my thing but I really did like your CD. It’s sassy, refreshing and stands out somehow. It certainly also has a more serious tone to it, looking at the title ( heimweh - homesick ). At the moment there are several projects striving to bring these old songs back to life.... but as many versions only revoke embarrassing sentimentality, your CD comes across with real authenticity. We all have our individual memories of these songs. I think your CD will signifacally help to rediscover and appreciate them again. Hats off to all the artists who participated!
