Music

What is tradition? This is the question posed by yodeller and food researcher Meinrad Koch from Canton Appenzell. In search of an answer, he embarks on a journey. In Norway he meets the Joiker Marja Mortensson, who is reviving her lost Sami singing culture. In Georgia, he meets Ninuca Kakhiani from the Tutarchela youth choir, who is interested not only in Georgian singing but also in music from other cultures.

Cos'è la tradizione? Per Meinrad Koch, lo jodel naturale dell'Appenzello, è un atto di equilibrio tra rituali collaudati e audace innovazione. Per la Joikerin Marja Mortensson un mezzo per il dare voce alla minoranza sami. E per il coro giovanile georgiano Tutarchela lo è un invito ad esplorare la musica folk al di là delle proprie tradizioni.
