SHAPE+ consists of 18 non-profit venues and festivals, including Unsound, CTM, Construction and Intonal, and is co-funded by the European Union, and, as of middle of 2024, also Pro Helvetia.

In Focus: Anita Baker

Focus on Anita Baker

Sophisticated, refined and smooth-voiced, Anita Baker helped redefine R&B music in the 1980s.

The following decade's explosion of popular R&B from artists like Mariah Carey and Toni Braxton may have sounded very different without Baker's quiet influence.
