orget lettuce and beets—the Bernese Seeland’s finest export is David DiAlma. The Waldbühne contest proved it: this Biel-based singer and multi-instrumentalist is a soul revelation, echoing the early days of Elton John. Rooted in the American and British soul of the ’60s and ’70s, DiAlma’s music is pure, analog groove—no digital tricks, just raw talent. And if you’re worried about a lack of power without studio effects, don’t be: his band, complete with percussion, brass, and backing vocals, delivers an energy that turns even the most skeptical listeners into believers. Guaranteed.
