“No one else can raise so much gooseflesh from the old folksong ‘Han amen Ort äs Blüemli xe’ between slide guitar and Bernese-German dialect. No one stages exotic worlds with such shameless delight. The chanson “Mon kaléido” mixes West African choral singing with Franco-Arabian poetry and South African township rhythms. Her own compositions alternate with snappy folksongs from southern Europe, and chansons from Mani Matter follow ballads and covers.”
