Fredrik recently visited Kenya looking for records, and randomly stumbled upon an amazing untouched collection of African 45′s in an old womans house somewhere deep in the jungle. He lost his sences, bought the hole lot and shipped it all to Norway.

Fredrik is currently sitting buried in old vinyl in his basement in Stavanger and cleaning, listening, sorting and getting to know this unique treasure of black gold.

Check out the brand new blog that will feature a taste of this treasures

He will this Thursday @ Turkish Delight be presenting some of the never-heard-before nuggets he discovered.

This is a extremely exclusive night as most of these records probably have never even made it out to hardcore vinyl collectors, records shops, compilations or been re-issued..

So if you want to be one of the first people ever to get to hear these super rare 45′s, u know what 2 to do!!!!

Om bandet / About the band:
Monoswezi is a collective of musicians originally from Mozambique, Norway, Sweden and Zimbabwe. With a common passion for traditional African music in general, and music from Zimbabwe and Mozambique in particular, Monoswezi seeks a musical expression, where respect for tradition is combined with different references and experiences from jazz and modern Western music. In addition to traditional music, Monoswezi performs music composed by the band members, with a strong improvisational approach.

In 2010 Monoswezi released the album “Monoswezi” on the Parallell label. (www.parallell.eu) The cd has been critically acclaimed in Norway and abroad, and have been played on radio in Canada, USA, England (bbc), France, Poland, Serbia, Czech Republic, Germany, Sweden and Norway.

The population in Mozambique and Zimbabwe, has a distinctive, long and rich musical tradition that is very strong in the society today. In addition to vocals, important instruments are, drums, percussion, local marimbas in all sizes, and mbira. The mbira is considered the national instrument of Zimbabwe, and has been played by the Shona peolpe for more than a thousand years.

The traditional music in Zimbabwe and Mozambique has many similarities with Western music. The rhythmic foundation of the music can be found in parts of the American jazz tradition, while it has repetitative and thematic similarities with the music of contemporary composer such as Steve Reich and Philip Glass.

Very often, this music will be accompanied by dancing and participation by the audience. There is little distinction between the performer and the audience, both are often actively involved in the music-making.

The musicians in Monoswezi are also involved in bands like Ola Kvernberg Trio, Lekverk, Sidiki Camara Band, and Tore Brunborg Trio. Hallvard, Putte and Erik has also had a longer stays in Mozambique, Ghana, Cameroon and Gambia and have been playing with a variety of musicians there.
