The Chicken Ruckus play old time and folk from body and soul

The Chicken Ruckus play old-time and folk from body and soul. Their songs and tunes have their roots in the southeastern United States, where Irish and English songs mixed with African-American blues at the beginning of the 20th century. Accompanied by banjo, mandolin, fiddle and bass guitar, The Chicken Ruckus sing about the cool mountains and the wild coasts, about the work on the track and in the coal mines, about love, life, death and whatever may come after.

Every performance of The Chicken Ruckus is raw and melodious at the same time, is performed with passion and is guaranteed to touch every audience deep inside, if they are not carried away and carried away by the stomping rhythms and the crisp bass lines.

The inspiring source of Vent Negru, founded in 1991, is the rich heritage of songs and instrumental pieces of southern Alpine folk music, which has been preserved to this day thanks to oral tradition and the records of the first researchers and collectors.

The trio interprets rediscovered old ballads, lullabies, dance songs, songs in the style of "canto spontaneo" that have been preserved from oblivion, enriching this repertoire with new compositions inspired by tradition.

Music and storytelling of stories, curiosities and anecdotes with the desire to show and make audible the value of Ticino's popular culture.

Vent Negru plays at events and concerts in a wide variety of places in the style of itinerant musicians and story singers from times gone by.

In a multimedia concert production full of surprises, the SECONDHAND ORCHESTRA with Roman Riklin, Daniel Schaub, Frölein Da Capo and Adrian Stern follows the eternally recurring course of love using dialect versions of the ABBA songs. New original compositions are unrestrainedly interwoven with ABBA hits such as "Dancing Queen" or song pearls such as "The Winner Takes it all". Radio legend Mürner contributes audiovisual contributions to the spectacle. "Love - The Dialect ABBA Tribute" is a unique homage to the immortal hits of the Swedish songwriters and proves that ABBA still has the right soundtrack ready for every situation of its own love story.
