We proudly present the premiere performance of this year’s commissioned musical piece written by Safaa Al-Saadi.
The composition is titled Broer av musikk and is the second piece to be commissioned by Global Oslo Music to an outstanding composer.
@ Cafeteatret / Hollendergata 8 / 9pm / cc 120

Safaa Al Saadi is an Iraqi composer and multi-instrumentalist, living and working in Oslo, whose music is deeply rooted in tradtions from Mesopotamia. The work behind “Broer av musikk” is based on the study of instruments commonly used in Arab music in combination with Western European instruments. His use of Nay (reed flute), Darbuka, Rak, Kishbeh (drums/percussion) and violins (during the 19th century, the European violin began to replace the Arabic spike fiddle in most Arab countries), concert harp and keyboard has resulted in a powerful and innovative work.

Lineup:
Safaa Al-Saadi – nay, piano, keyboard, arabic drums and percussion
Sattar Al-Saadi – nay, arabic drums and percussion
Ellen Sejersted Bødtker – harp
Darvan Ahmad Abdulkarim – violin

Spinning with her is Dj Ann Helen who has just escaped Oslo to settle in the country but keeps returning to the capital to spin her music. Known for a wide range of musical genres such as techno, house, disco, rumba, calypso, Afro-pop and psychedelia. Anything danceable is in the repertoire!

Workshop
Song, poetry, storytelling, rap, melody and monologue are all elements that are used in slam poetry and spoken word. Each person is encouraged to express themself through own voice, identity and story to own the text and delivery. The Workshop has a written and vocal session. In the written session we will work with creative writing. We explore rhyme, rythm, methaphore, pictures, assosiation and different ways to develop a poetic style. In the vocal session we will work with dynamics in the voie, tempo, body language and other elements that can strengthen the performance. Sarah shares knowledge from own experience, meetings with other, and courses in her workshop.
