Meimuna

In the organizer's words:

A mix of English folk and French poetry, whose fragile and poetic power touches hearts and awakens emotions.

Founded in 2016 by musician, singer and composer Cyrielle Formaz, Meimuna has established itself as one of the most remarkable new musical discoveries on the Swiss and European stages. She skillfully plays with musical and linguistic boundaries, moving between English-language folk and French poetry. In doing so, she explores a delicate and fragile mode of expression that few artists can master with such grace.

With five EPs, Meimuna has created a universe that is both fragile and poetically powerful and is reflected in various live formations: Meimuna performs live as a duo (two guitars, two voices) with Lyon-based songwriter Claire Moreau aka Claire days or Jeff Albelda (The Company of Men), as an intimate choir with six women on stage or as a full 13-piece band. Each concert is followed with reverent silence and attentive listening, while tears flow and hearts melt with emotion.

For the tour of their debut album "c'est demain que je meurs", Meimuna wanted to create an additional formation that would do justice to the organic complexity, rhythmic richness and many textures of the album, and formed a quartet consisting of Claire days (electric guitar, vocals), Fred Bürki (drums, vocals) and Sonja Bossart (bass, vocals). As always, melodies and sophistication will take center stage.
