Oesch's Die Dritten brought Swiss folk music to new ears with their 2013 hit "Jodeln Ist Cool."
For their sound, start with "Jodeln Ist Cool." For something more traditional, try "Es Blüht Ein Edelweiss."
They matter because they took something traditional and made it feel current without losing its roots. "Jodeln Ist Cool" became a genuine hit in 2013, proving there was an audience for their sound. Their songs like "Die Jodel-sprache" and "Es Blüht Ein Edelweiss" keep the accordion and yodeling front and center, even as they faced personal challenges like Anna's cancer diagnosis in 2017.
They formed in Schwarzenegg, Switzerland in 2007 as a family group. After their 2008 debut Echo vom Berg, the single "Jodeln Ist Cool" in 2013 broke through to a wider audience. They've kept recording, putting out Alpentraum in 2022.
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
