Touching simplicity on a variety of instruments
Unfamiliar and yet familiar
"We look beyond the Emmental hills into all worlds and times"
With a variety of rare instruments, "Neoländler" interpret alpine folk music in their own way - their repertoire ranges from refreshingly played traditional pieces to original compositions dedicated to the Emme, the Süessegg (from the Hinterarni to the Lushütte...) or other emblematic places in the Emmental.
They follow in the footsteps of Alpine folk music around the Napf, looking down from the heights into the Muota Valley in central Switzerland as well as along the Swiss borders and beyond to the Val d'Anniviers and Soglio, on the border between Graubünden and Italy. In this way, "Neoländler" sing and play across borders: borders between the local and the distant, between the local and the foreign, between the old and the new - and yet always keep one foot firmly planted in their homeland, the Emmental.
Their current CD "Ufbruuch" is dedicated to the Emmental. Traditional songs from the Emmental, such as a cow row or an alternating harmonica piece, are complemented by their own songs and dances. They take their listeners on a journey and show atmospheric images that dare to look beyond the "hill-cow-cheese-geranium idyll": melancholic, idiosyncratic, heart-warming, intimate and always with the power of the elemental. Following traces, leaving traces: departure.
