Christine Lauterburg
In contrast to most contemporary Swiss musicians, who use the Anglo-Saxon folk songs as a foundation, Lauterburg develops her music from local roots.1994 the album is followed by Echo der Zeit in coproduction with the Swiss folk music expert Cyrill Schläpfer and the dancefloor producer Pascal de Sapio.At the beginning of the 90s Lauterburg was touring as a singer under her own name and in other formations like Trio 9, Flädermüüs mit Housi Wittlin through Switzerland, Austria, Germany, Italy, France, Spain, Canada, USA, Ecuador, China and Africa.Lauterburg is engaged as a singer in several ethnic music projects along with Corin Curschellas and Walther Lietha in the formations eCHo and Doppelbock.The result of that period was a series of CDs like: «S hät deheim en Vogel xunge» (2000), «Pro Helvetia» (2001), «Rund um de Buuchnabel» (2003), «Obio!» (2006), «Schnitter – i hole di o» (2007), «Voodoo-Jodel» (2009).Lauterburg acts and sings in the very successful open-air theater play "Dällebach Kari" that was staged on the Gurten mountain at Bern during the summers of 2006 and 2007.Here she mixes booming basses with solid beats to create a light ambient floor over which she puts her distinctive voice with her characteristic Juchz (Swiss crow).The dance company "d'Schwyz Tanzt" is a group of folk dancers which strongly represents Switzerland a vital, open and contemporary country which is also aware of the roots its own cultural heritage.The four band members are all well known Swiss musicians: Andi Hug, drums, Hank Shizzoe, guitar, Michel Poffet, bass and Markus Flückiger, accordion.
