Kapelle Echo vom Tödi is a traditional Swiss folk music ensemble renowned for their vibrant and authentic interpretations of Alpine music. The band derives its name from Mount Tödi, which is one of the highest mountains in the Swiss Alps and an emblematic symbol of the canton of Glarus, and their music is deeply rooted in the regional folk traditions of this area. Known for their skilled musicianship and passion for preserving the cultural heritage of Swiss folk music, Kapelle Echo vom Tödi has a reputation for stirring up delightful nostalgia with every performance.

Their body of work showcases a strong dedication to the genres of Ländlermusik, which is a folk style resembling a slow waltz, and Schwyzerörgeli, evident with the use of the accordion-like instrument that shares the genre's name. Their recent releases, including "Urnerbodä-Kafi - Bodeständigi, tänzigi Musig," which translates to "Earthy, Dance Music," and "Urchig, rund," meaning "Original, round," resonate with a sense of time-honored tradition and a celebration of Swiss musical heritage. The ensemble has gained acclaim not just for the technical proficiency they exhibit but also for their ability to evoke the alpine spirit and camaraderie through their music, making their live performances and albums cherished by folk music aficionados.
