Festival paleon: From rai to reggaeton: Swiss talents that should not be missed
The Grand Raout on the ASSE plain starts on Tuesday. Between two headliners, it is also an opportunity to discover the pearls of our home.
There is Nemo, a big winner of Eurovision 2024, but not only. As every year, the ASSE plain will host a multitude of Swiss talents who are illustrated on the country’s stages, but also internationally. And there is something for everyone: from hip-hop to electronic music, including pop, rock and even “reggaeton anti-Macho”.
In addition, who says music “swiss made”, also says multilingualism. Prepare to twerker on French, rapper in Italian and sing in … English. Yes, because who really masters German in French -speaking Switzerland? Small trip of Swiss nuggets not to be missed during the week.
Sami Galbi: Raï revisited in Lausanne sauce
After a visit to the Belleville stage last year, Sami Galbi returns as part of the programming of the village of the world. With the Maghreb as a guest of honor, the festival could not decently miss the Lausanne musician who brought the Raï up to date. Multi-instrumentalist and jack-of-all-trades, Sami Galbi composes, sings, dance, produces and even imagines his scenography. He draws his inspiration from traditional Maghreb music and reinterpreted them with synth guitar, all mixed with electro-pop sauce. Released in 2024, his first solo project takes off at full speed, boosted by the hit “Dakchi Hani”. Tuesday, under the dome, the atmosphere will be as intense as that of a North African marriage. He says it.
Tendinitis: feminist reggaeton, yes it exists
A strange duo, both by musical and clothing style, tendonitis reclaims reggaeton in French -speaking sauce by adding a pinch of feminism. Mid-Spanish, half-French The texts denounce the patriarchy, the machismo and the big heavy people in the background of the energetic Beats Dancehall. “People like you, I can’t, it makes me gaga”: if the message is clear, the tone wants to be humorous. Just like their music that invites you to “Shaker Le Booty”, in a free and uninhibited way, because the goal is above all to party. But while respecting please. Otherwise … “Unscrupulous, I kill them, crushes them”. It is Wednesday in Belleville and the “vermin” only has to stand for.
Mairo: mastery of words and flow
Self -proclaimed “mayor of Geneva”, Mairo has the merit of being at the antipodes of current commercial rap. Exit the lovers bays, dancing prods and sung choruses. The Genevan embodies the genre in its purest essence: here, it is the text that prevails without any other frills. The words are weighed, reflected and bounce on basic melodies whose sole purpose is to serve the subject. Mairo’s music listed, and carefully. We appreciate the precision of the phases, the speed of flow, the hardness of the tone too. When he shouts social inequalities, police violence or love of his family. Without self -treading, never, a fact rare enough to be underlined. For a slap that is good and reminds the elders, go to club Tent Thursday evening.
Milune: an American popstar, from Geneva
She speaks three languages, lives between Geneva, Zurich and Los Angeles and dedicates a cult in pink color. At 21, Milune has everything to become a popstar worthy of the great American idols. In any case, this is the opinion of Paleo programmers who do not hesitate to compare it to Billie Eilish or Sabrina Carpenter. With the first, the young artist shares a grain in the voice and the love of the synths. His seaman character, slightly drama, is more than the second. Just like his joyful and explosive pop, carried by texts a bit provocative ‘. On the ASSE plain, Milune will present her first album “Hearts Lust” on Sunday and she can’t wait to be there: “He’s a bit of the coachella from Europe anyway. It’s going to be incredible! ”.
