Earthy, surprising, delicate, and atmospheric, UMS’nJIP draws on its musical roots—the group is based in Münster in the Goms region—and, with its whimsical songs, builds a humorous yet thought-provoking and socially critical bridge to our crazy times. Accompanying this tongue-in-cheek, critical program is a song-learning website: “Volchsliädär leeru und schi deheimu in er Famili singu.” This is a project that UMS’nJIP launched in 2020 to encourage the singing of local folk songs at home. On this website, Upper Valais folk songs in their original versions have been adapted specifically for home use. The practical learning resources for families, schools, and clubs are publicly available and also include biographical notes on the composers and poets. In addition, the song lyrics, along with the corresponding links, can be downloaded as PDFs. Intercultural competence begins with a nuanced understanding of one’s own culture. An important key to understanding musical identities is presenting them using contemporary methods and making them accessible. JIP, who, among other things, conducts the Upper Valais Folk Song Choir, worked for the Valais UNESCO Committee on the Documentation of Intangible Cultural Heritage from 2009 to 2018, where he presented the first overview of the source material on folk songs in Upper Valais in 2015.
