Blues
Priority
Even in prosperous Basel, people sing the blues.
Pasión Flamenco
Tired of Alphorns, yodeling, and techno? Spend your vacation learning flamenco
dancing at this school in central Basel. Private lessons are available, and
the school will also stage performances for private groups.

The "jazz campus" of the
Musik-Akademie der Stadt Basel sponsors performances
and workshops by world-famous artists and
groups.
Basler Rock
This site features two long-established bands: PowerPlay (the "ultimate rockband of Basel, Switzerland,")
and Tell Rock.
Events
ArtBasel
The city's International Art Fair takes place in June. (I've set this
ill-behaved site to open in a new browser window so you won't get trapped on
its pages.)
Fasnacht
Basel's annual Fasnacht, or Carnival, is a Swiss version of Mardi Gras.
Highlights include Guggenmusik bands, open-air skits, a children's parade,
and uninhibited carousing. For more information, see Basler
Fasnacht Online.
