IN HELVETICA BOLD - music - ALL ABOUT HEIDI

ALL ABOUT HEIDI

What's Swiss, with 12 faces, spans a generation or two and yodels? Introducing Heimweh the latest Swiss Miss project. You might remember our Alpine gals—Eliane and Andra Borlo who brought a unique spin to traditional Swiss folk music—well forget the spin,—here's a veritable Russian roulette of twelve Swiss singers whose styles and backgrounds redefine the word gamut. Or the idea of a "Swiss Miss" for that matter.

So just in case you thought you knew Heidi, think again—this Swiss Miss is part Nigerian and she's from Valais; she's a human beat box, she's got reggae and blues; she's knows her bossanova; she is Asian; her soul is Brazilian; she's a ballerina; she's a vamp; a Wise Woman and she tangos...

Intrigued? Visit the Swiss Miss site here— and check back later in the summer for our review of the new album Heimweh—which started out (like most great ideas) as notes scribbled on a napkin in one late night in a bar in New York.
Read our interview with Eliane of Swiss Miss here.
