Let’s climb some mountains for the penultimate leg of our big Trans-Europe Music Express tour. Last week, we visited the country of Kraftwerk, the legendary band who served as an inspiration in naming our imaginary summer train (but we know that you already guessed that !). Germany delighted us with its haunting and captivating rock bands and its flourishing German-Turkish scene – Derya Yıldırım & Grup Şimşek offered a perfect example. But this week, Switzerland gets the chance to show off its own pool of musical talent. Multicultural, multilingual, and exciting, the Swiss scene is often featured in Europavox.com’s pages… And rightly so !
To take a journey in a country that is so pleasant to visit in the summer, what could be better than a playlist in which Mathieu Monnier, programmer at the excellent Paleo Festival, has added his choice of local tracks ? This high-flying selection explores the best rap, pop, rock and electronic music from Basel, Bern, Zürich and Geneva. Welcome to Switzerland !
