Filmvorführung: «Typisch Volksmusik?»

Where does Swiss folk music come from? What is the significance of folk music in Switzerland today? Which path will it take in the future?
The SRF documentary "Typical folk music?" accompanies yodellers and musicians, folk music legends, current stars and up-and-coming young artists who could hardly be more different in their diversity and presents the different faces of Swiss folk music: From the double bass player who plays raves in Berlin to the traditional musician from central Switzerland who lives and makes music on a remote alp.
"Typical folk music?" provides insights into a musical genre that is deeply rooted in tradition and yet is constantly changing. Ethnomusicologists, experts and historians classify the developments. It shows that not everyone in this diverse musical genre is always of the same opinion - and this is precisely what enriches Swiss folk music.
