The Alphorn is traditionally associated with tough mustached men in lederhosen blowing into their instruments atop of the Alps. The young Swiss musician Eliana Burki is as far as you can get from this stereotype. In few years she has established her name bringing this most peculiar instrument to a new young audience more attuned to the sound of rock, blues and funk than that of folk music.
Having seen her at a private concert last Sunday, I can assure you that you will be mesmerized by what she can do with the set of alphorns she brought along in Egypt. She and her band of young accomplished musicians will definitely rock you.
Do not miss this unique chance of seeing them tomorrow, Wednesday October 21, 2009 in the Wisdom Hall of El Sawi Cultural Centre in Zamalek at 8:30 PM.
