Kunz

Description

Hymns to Life KUNZ is back! As the "Stadt Land Fluss Poet," the award-winning Lucerne dialect musician presents eleven brand new songs. Whether sparse-instrumented ballad or driving pop anthem – all are declarations of love to existence. How he found the time for his seventh studio album, the now four-time family man himself isn't quite sure: "It happened so to speak between door and angel," says KUNZ with a laugh. And perhaps "Stadt Land Fluss Poet" is just such a shot because here is someone who is right in the middle of life. A poet of everyday life, who assigns meaning to the small things and highlights ordinary people: "Every small person is 'the world' to someone," says Kunz. He beautifully captures this in "Die ganzi Wäut," the duet with Anna Känzig. Here, one is called upon to accept the beautiful: "S Glöck, das isch flöchtig, umarms, wenns du hesch!" The master of dialect folk looks 99 years ahead and 99 back. "Even back then, people had the feeling that the world was ending," says KUNZ. "If I can give people a little hope and encourage them to keep confidence, then that's good." He does this with contagious zest for life. That's strong. Because optimism is not for the weak.
