A Bold, Boundless Exploration of Sound and Language

Swiss vocal phenomenon Andreas Schaerer is celebrated for his unparalleled artistry—a singer, instrumentalist, and storyteller in one. Described as “the Germanic Bobby McFerrin with the flow of a Shakespearean actor” (L’Alsace), his performances are electrifying, his voice an instrument of limitless possibility. In early 2024, the French Académie du Jazz named him European Artist of the Year, a testament to his groundbreaking contributions to music.

With Anthem For No Man’s Land, Schaerer pushes the boundaries of vocal expression further than ever. More than just a soloist, he is a collaborator, an architect of sound, shaping music as part of a collective. Alongside drummer Lucas Niggli, guitarist Kalle Kalima, and accordionist Luciano Biondini, he has forged a musical language that transcends borders. Their chemistry, built over years of performances and over 100 concerts together, fuels an album that is both adventurous and deeply immersive.

At the heart of Anthem For No Man’s Land is a radical concept: a new, free, imaginary language—words that sound familiar yet belong to no nation. Inspired by the fluid, instinctive way children invent speech, Schaerer crafts a vocal universe where meaning is felt rather than understood. It is playful, profound, and utterly unique.

Musically, the album refuses to be confined. It shifts between psychedelic rock, Italian popular song, tango, chamber jazz, and West African rhythms, seamlessly blending influences into something fresh and unpredictable. The result is an anthem for artistic freedom, a sonic utopia where language and genre dissolve, leaving only pure expression.

More than just music, Anthem For No Man’s Land is an invitation—to listen, to feel, and to experience sound in its most liberated form.
