Pascal Gamboni's music has resonated far beyond linguistic borders, partly due to its profound and philosophical content. Simple Romansh songs that move the listener. Anyone who has ever experienced him live knows the power and depth of his songs. This sound is authentic and lingers long after.
Born in the mountains of the canton of Graubünden (Switzerland), Gamboni discovered music in general, and the guitar in particular, at the tender age of eleven. As a teenager, he attended music school in Austria and soon joined the obligatory rock band. The band tried their luck in the UK and was surprisingly quickly signed by a record label. First in Bristol, later in London, Gamboni remained in the UK for a full decade before returning to Switzerland to live in Bern. He rediscovered his native language and released several records, singing increasingly in Romansh. It doesn't matter that only the other 59 people who speak the language immediately understand the lyrics. What matters much more is the spirit that shines through in the music.

«Music that doesn't deny its roots, but looks confidently into the wider world.» (Giuliano Benassi)
