Echo vom Locherguet - Neue Volksmusik

The Echo vom Locherguet is considered one of the first groups of "new folk music" with performances at the once legendary Lenzburg, Gurten and Maur folk festivals. Old tunes were dusted off, others were remixed, and the music was often eaten under the skin. Over time, new musicians joined the band and brought a breath of fresh air. In addition to spruced-up old tunes from around Switzerland, Celtic, Nordic, Klezmer and Balkan pieces are now also part of the repertoire. The musical journey often takes them from the Atlantic over the Swiss passes to the Black Sea. A dash of the Mediterranean is rarely missing. Dulcimer, violin, clarinet, Schwyzerörgeli, oboe, recorder and guitar are joined by old instruments such as shawm, Halszither, Kerbflöte, Chalumeau and Trümpi, which emphasize the rough charm of the music. "Chli chroose mueses."
