Concert of David diAlma – 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.

David DiAlma is a 24-year-old singer and multi-instrumentalist from Biel, on a mission to bring soul back to its purest form. He proves that in Switzerland, soul is far from yesterday’s music. With a distinctive and powerful voice infused with Sixties soul vibes, he asks: what if “retro” and “vintage” weren’t just nostalgia, but reality?

Straightforward and honest, his music is performed live with an eleven-piece band—no overdubs, no digital tricks—just pure soul that gets under your skin, whether today or back in the day.

His single “Cloud”, co-written with Christian Häni (Halunke), is a catchy, pop-leaning track layered over a laidback Motown beat. Piano beads, horns cut, guitar sparks—and at the center, David DiAlma’s unmistakable voice, empowering every note he sings.
