Meimuna & Gina Été

One evening, two concerts.

Celebrate International Women's Day with two of Switzerland's most exciting female musicians:

**Meimuna **

Founded in 2016 by musician, singer and composer Cyrielle Formaz, Meimuna has established itself as one of the most remarkable new musical discoveries on 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 have mastered 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.

GINA ÉTÉ

Prosopagnosia refers to the inability to recognize people by their face - for patients with this trait, people are not immediately recognizable. For Swiss singer-songwriter GINA ÉTÉ, this peculiar characteristic is the inspiration for her second album, which she has entitled "Prosopagnosia".

GINA ÉTÉ's impressive debut album "Erased By Thought" from 2021 proved that she always thinks about politics and society in her art.

In "Trauma", she explores the psychological traces of fleeing from Syria to Europe, in "All or Nothing" she addresses the climate crisis and the song "Mauern" from her EP "Oak Tree" was her swan song to Donald Trump. The complex and catchy hybrid pop has earned her comparisons with Radiohead and Björk: rhythmically intricate, genre-fluid, with influences from classical music and jazz.

No wonder that the violist is regularly asked by acts to arrange for
string ensembles **(Sophie Hunger, Panda Lux) **or to support live shows.

Sun she accompanies Swiss indie greats such as Faber, Black Sea Dahu and To Athena on tour, as well as Canadian singer-songwriter and film composer Patrick Watson.
