Emerging Fervour

Living in the UK or any other English speaking country, you might forget that there is music produced in other languages than English. As I’ve now just moved back to Switzerland, the one thing I am really enjoying is hearing music in other languages and yes some might be classified as ‘euro-trash’ (and rightly so) but hearing French and Spanish hip-hop is not only giving me flash backs to when I was a teenager, it’s making me excited again about different types of music which I forgotten, I loved so much.

So this weekend was a feast for me, as the ‘Züri Faescht‘ was showcasing various bands from all over Europe and the one that everyone kept telling me is the big thing in Switzerland is ‘Big Siz‘ which of course I had to go and check out. Big Zis has already released three albums and is known in the country for her Elektro-Pop-Alternative-Punk-Rap style. As I was watching the crowd going wild over her, it was easy to see why. A bundle of energy, having so much fun on stage, singing & rapping to dancy tunes, no one can stand still. But judge for yourselves:

Wott nur tanze (Only want to dance) – one of her older tracks but you’d still only want to dance

Käis Probleem (No problem)

Prrrdy (well I’m guessing that means paaaaaaaaaarty)

If, like most, you’ve not heard about this Zurich festival, it’s every 3 years and the city Zurich goes mental, partying for 3 days non-stop and I mean non-stop! You walk around at 4am and everyone in the city is blearing loud music and people are enjoying themselves! Unbelievable, so make sure you come and visit in three years time
