SWISS MISS SOUNDS

Eliane and Andra Borlo Two Swiss Misses spice up Swiss Folk Music

What are Heidis granddaughters up to? No blond pig tales, no yodeling ( yet ) ... Eliane and Andra Borlo, both New York based singer / songwriters from Switzerland, are not quite what you expect from Swiss Folk Music. Combining Latin Grooves à la Buena Vista Social Club with a little Nora Jones flair, they jazz up the most beautiful traditional melodies to a whole new unforgettable Swiss experience.

Old and new - tradition and inovation

Eliane and Andra joined forces with an excellent New York proof rhytm section to create SWISS MISS, a program that starts off with a fresh approach to their Swiss roots and continues with their contemporary songwriting for the second part.

Eliane voice, guitar and arrangements

graduated from the New School University in 2000 and is now an active member of the NYC Jazz, Brazil and Latin scene and performs in New Yorks most famous clubs such as Blue Note, Jazz Standard, Joes Pub, Knitting Factory and frequently tours in Europe. Her songs are a collection of stories of her life, influenced by the richness of Brazils and South Americas rhythms and her Jazz background. Her cristal clear voice and her groovy guitar playing go under your skin - or how Debbie Melk form MTV puts it: When I first saw her perform, her sultry, melodic, mesmerizing and energizing musical talent resonated with me for days. She truly is a gift to all music.

Andra Borlo voice

was born in Chicago, raised in Switzerland and moved back to New York part time three years ago to reconnect with her early musical roots „Like honey floating over sandpaper“ is how best to describe Andra Borlos’ charismatic voice. She calls her sound Alternative Acoustic Pop and successfully released her first solo album with Universal Music in Europe earlier in 2006. She recorded with outstanding New York artists, among them bassist Gregg August (Elvis Costello, Pauqito de Rivera) and violinist Todd Reynolds (Joe Jackson, Cassandra Willson). Her live act is carried by cello and piano which capture the beautiful arrangements of her songs with deepness and soul. The Swiss press compared her to artists like Fiona Apple or Tori Amos. .
