Rebekka Bakken plays Baloise Session

Synopsis

Rebekka Bakken is a fantastic singer, with a voice pure as a bell, which reaches the highest heights and the most sensual lows. She is also a storyteller. «As soon as there are words, it is all about the lyrics. As singers, we are only the delivery girls», she has been quoted as saying – a gross understatement in her case. She has mastered the art of putting the spotlight on the song itself, letting it shine in colourful light, while never hiding behind the song. Whether Rebekka Bakken sings songs by Ludwig Hirsch or Tom Waits, rock songs or intimate ballads, whether accompanied by jazz guitarist Wolfgang Muthspiel, a rock band, or a big band, her iconic voice is immediately recognizable. It goes right under the skin, into the belly and head and directly to the heart. What more could one say of a singer?
