Visually, MYSTIC ALPIN looks more like ‘Beauty and the Beast’, but on stage it is a 13-piece duo, which has a distinctive and authentic sound: Austrian world music, multilingual variants, and the Italian/Styrian bundle of energy JEANNINE ROSSI, and boy band senior FRED JAKLITSCH have found their common wavelength. When an all-star band of successful Austrian bands (EAV/SEER/HARDBRADLER) lets the Brazilian groove machine FERNANDO PAIVA roll out a rhythmic carpet, with JEANNINE ROSSI, powerful in all genres, DSDS-tested, teams up with FRED JAKLITSCH, mastermind/lyricist/composer of SEER for almost 30 years (14 No. 1 albums, very first No. 1 Touch by touch /JOY 1985), then yodelling melts into Afrobeat, spiritual sound healing elements in 432 Hz seamlessly transition into danceable dialect sing-along anthems. The 7-piece choir POPLITE and the guest appearance of Alpinkatze ZABINE (Hubert von Goisern) make the formation an unprecedented calling card for European music.
It took courage and basic trust to venture a completely new beginning after 14 No. 1 albums with Austria's most popular dialect band. The name says it all for MYSTIC ALPIN's new single: ON AND ON, it is not only a pop-blues-gospel ballad, but also the first collaboration with Austrian entertainer and singer ERIC PAPILAYA, ESC candidate an musical performer. A song that stands for belief in oneself, keep going through failures and doubts, high and lows. “ON AND ON hits the nail on the head when it comes to my journey as a musician with a 50-year career, from completely empty concert venues to crowded open-air events, from total flops to number one hits, a journey with mistakes and doubts, long dry spells and overnight successes. A song that aims to inspire - to go for your dreams.”
