"Röschtigrabe": Miss Helvetia dares the balancing act
In Switzerland, the land of mountains and valleys, there is a really deep rift: The "Röschtigrabe". It is the invisible yet omnipresent border between German- and French-speaking Switzerland. Now, from the Bernese Oberland comes a woman who spans this divide with the ease of a balancing act, as if it were the easiest thing in the world to overcome the boundaries between languages, cultures and Generations: Miss Helvetia!
The yodeling artist, who grew up as a person and musician in Diemtigtal, has always been a bridge builder between cultures. She effortlessly combines traditional yodeling with drums, double bass, hand organ and guitar. And delights fans all over the world - and throughout Switzerland anyway - with music that cannot be pigeonholed. Music that is infectious with good humor, love for people and respect for traditions. Miss Helvetia's performances are characterized by her unique yodel, her own songs, French chansons, an incredible stage presence, energy and joie de vivre!
The ease with which Miss Helvetia transcends borders certainly has something to do with the fact that she moved from the narrow Diemtigtal valley to faraway Geneva at the age of 20 - and not only got to know French there. But also the world in all its size and breadth. She has performed countless times, yodeled, sang, danced; during the day, in the evening, at night; she founded and directed the women's yodeling choir Le Cœur des yodleuses, conducted the Alphüttli yodeling club and had many wonderful performances with both.
Miss Helvetia loves playing with borders so much that she is dedicating a new album and a new tour to them with "Röschtigrabe". In her luggage she has many new songs that she composed herself. All real catchy tunes, to which she deliberately gives even more space than before alongside her yodeling. Of course, the funny stories and anecdotes that are part of every Miss Helvetia show are not to be missed. And logically: the balancing act is not only celebrated live in the figurative sense.
After two years of successful touring with "Volksmusig on the Rocks", Miss Helvetia is opening a new chapter. With an album and a program that connects people, Generations and cultures - and thus helps to bring Switzerland closer together. Tradition meets modernity. German-speaking Switzerland meets French-speaking Switzerland.
