Swiss artists appearing at MaMA, Paris, 2013
Mama Rosin, Wednesday 16 October @ La Cigale, 19.00 – 22.30h;
“Air Rytmo Night” with Moriarty and Christine Salem
Take the Cajun music of the American South, add a hefty dose of Punk attitude and blend in a host of other influences picked up in the course of years of travelling. That, in a nutshell, is the sound of Geneva-based trio Mama Rosin. Their last album was produced by one of their biggest fans – Jon Spencer of the Jon Spencer Blues Explosion. Which says it all, really.

The Animen, Thursday, 17 October @ Le Dandy, 18.00 – 18.40h
They look like a cross between the Hollies and Franz Ferdinand, and they sound like it, too. Drawing from a seemingly bottomless well of joyously chiming guitar melodies and deadly choruses, the quintet from Carouge near Geneva also have a fine sense of humour – and they do know how to treat a ukulele right!

OY, Friday 18 October @ Le Divan du Monde, 19.00 – 22.45h;
with Shusheela Raman and Yasmin Hamdam
OY – aka Joy Frempong – is one of the most striking, original and courageous voices in Switzerland. Constantly experimenting in various fields of music, she has worked with Phall Fatale, Lauschangriff, Infinte Livez & Stade and Filewile. OY is Frempong alongside percussionist Lleluja-Ha, mixing up scraps of hip-hop with electronica, pop, funk, and West African influences, serving it all up with a beguiling sequence of images and videos.
