A Taste of Swiss Music @ Les Recontres Transmusicales de Rennes – 4 – 8 December 2019 – Rennes, France

One more festival to go before the end of the decade – aptly, it’s one of the most interesting, charming and entertaining events in our yearly itinerary. Launched in 1979, les Transmusicales have unwaveringly pursued their original aims ever since. These include a commitment to showcasing emerging artists, and to support originality and experimentation. Swiss Music Export, needless to say, is more than happy to be part of such a laudable enterprise.

Putting our money where the mouth is, Swiss Music Export, in collaboration with FCMA and under the banner of “A Taste of Swiss Music”, is once again presenting a musical showcase at les Transmusicales, complete with an irresistible selection of chocolate, wine and cheese, to whet the appetite for the rich buffet of sounds currently being served up in Switzerland.

LIVE ACTS
L’Eclair
The strangely named instrumental six-piece are disciples of the groove, listing as their spare time listening pleasures the likes of Funkadelic, Sly Stone, Tim Maia, Ash Ra and Piero Piccioni.

Amami
Signed to Bongo Joe Records and fronted by the singer Inès Mouzoune, the Geneva-based three-piece blend afro-beat, dancehall and North African influences to create their own unique style of global electro pop.

Anyone with a festival pass is cordially invited, nay, urged, to treat themselves to a taste of Swiss music. In order to receive the necessary accreditation, please click the following link.
