Punchlines & Transcript: Manillio, Tommy Vercetti & Dezmond Dez

In this series, Swiss rap greats come together: in conversation, in performance, and in sound. The artists bring songs, stories and skills to the table – including spontaneous freestyles, musical surprises and personal insights. The evenings in the “Punchlines & Protokoll” series are not just concerts, but an invitation to conversation, to sharing memories and reflecting together.

Accompanied by a live band that provides the musical backdrop for the evening, the guests also get the chance to perform their greatest tracks live. Visu Suter hosts the event.

Whether you’re a long-standing fan or a curious newcomer – this event offers insights for anyone who wants to understand rap and hip-hop better.

To round off the second season on 11 May 2027, we look forward to welcoming Manillio, Tommy Vercetti and Dezmond Dez (EFM).

Manillio, Tommy Vercetti and Dezmond Dez have shaped an era of Swiss rap with Eldorado FM. Originally a four-piece, the trio are still performing together today, whilst also releasing music as solo artists. Their debut album was released in 2015 and made a huge splash on the scene. The rappers have performed together on the ‘SRF Bounce Cypher’ on numerous occasions. Whilst Tommy Vercetti and Dezmond Dez place a particular emphasis on authentic, profound and socially critical lyrics in their collaborative projects, Manillio has found success with catchy dialect hits such as ‘Stäne’, ‘Mond’ and ‘Monbijou’. Eldorado FM is raw Swiss rap – blended with hit potential and an honest attitude that’s second to none in Switzerland.
