February 26: Tropique Magnifique #10

Publisert 01/02/16

It kicks off once again, with your resident DJ BHLB. This is a night dedicated to the most unlikely grooves from Africa & South America, new and old, all mixed up recklessly to make up the dance. The music is carefully selected to represent the weired, mind bending side of Tropical music, with a heavy emphasis on rhythmic content

Publisert 01/01/16

We would like to take this opportunity to thank all our artists and collaborators for their amazing creative projects throughout the year and our audience for their continued support. In 2015 more than hundred artists from twenty-five countries have taken part in our forty-four productions, visited by more than five thousand people!

As we enter 2016 we are delighted to announce the upcoming launch of the commissioned piece “Traces of you” by Kristin Asbjørnsen, introducing a brand new collaborative project with Ablaye Cissoko (kora) – a famous Senegalese griot musician – and guitarist Olav Torget.

“Traces of you” has strong roots in West African music, folk songs, Nordic jazz and contemplative church music – revealing Kristin’s excellent work, fusing and developing musical genres to create her own atmosphere and distinctive style.
To premiere on March 12 / 9 pm @ Cafeteatret, Oslo / cc 150
