The musicians behind the song Elia

The birth of his first son ELIA inspired Daniel Wallimann to create the touching and enchanting melody, which brought the little son gently to rest. The original melody has now been further developed by the three artists Daniel Wallimann (composer), Antonia Gasser and Tobi Gmür. In the process, a wonderful arrangement with vocals, guitar, piano and harmonium has been created.

Daniel Wallimann, (Alpnach) has been connected with music since his youth. He is a clarinettist with "Siidhang" and was active for 26 years with the yodel group Bärgröseli, several years of which he spent as conductor. In all these years he has developed various nature yodels, compositions and arrangements for various music projects.

Antonia Gasser, (Sarnen) is a musical all-rounder (trained singer and singing teacher, choir director and much more). She loves to sing at different venues - sometimes rock, sometimes beautiful, sometimes improvising, sometimes touching. In the project "tones unspoken" she is looking for her very own musical expression and gives her dialect texts a musical garment.

Tobi Gmür, (Lucerne) has been working as a musician for over 30 years - as a songwriter, singer and guitarist. He is head of the band "Mothers Pride" and has been touring with dialect songs since 2015.  He also works as a producer.
