Concert of Monte Mai – Presented by “Swiss Sounds in Milan”

The music programme showcases some of the finest contemporary Swiss artists on the stage of the House of Switzerland. More than just a concert, it is a celebration of Switzerland’s rich diversity and multilingual heritage, featuring talents from all four linguistic and cultural regions of the country.

Monte Mai is a Swiss-Caribbean psychedelic Art Pop trio consisting of Fabio Besomi, Fabio Pinto, and Anaïs Schmidt. Its music echoes both Swiss precision and Caribbean freschezza, blending dilated melodies, angelic voices, and punching electronic beats. All delivered in perfect harmony, providing a proper balance between man and electronic soul.  

Deconstructed rhythms, smoky bass riffs, lanky psychedelic nursery rhyme-like vocal lines, analog synths. A retro-manic journey into lateral Pop and played electronica, creating a musical language all their own.  

Their debut album Eye Sea Double (2023), released in early 2023, received critical acclaim and brought about comparisons to Metronomy, LCD Soundsystem, The Knife, Son Lux, Animal Collective and Vanishing Twin.
