featuring: KOHINOOR

Kohinoor was born in Dacka, Bangladesh and came to Norway when she was three and a half years old. At the age of twelve she started to perform as a dancer. This led to various parts in different musicals. In her heart though, she wanted to express something deeper than what the musicals could offer.

She went back to the country of her birth and witnessed the harsh reality of poverty and oppression.  Like many other third-world countries, Bangladesh is a land where Western ideas and regulations are easily accepted at the cost of local customs and traditions. She went by herself to distant places, there amongst Jamaica where she learned about rhythm and Negro Spirituals. Her style is a mix between World Music and Dancehall. Her connection with Rasta philosophy also reflects in her music, though mostly from a political view.

Her debutalbum is named Kohi de Browny and much of the material is autobiographic as in good old Hip Hop tradition. Her voice is raw and powerful and a personal engagement reveals when you listen to the album.

TASSILI
Aissa Tobi – Vocals, Banjo, Fele
Abderahime Tobi – Vocals, Perc
Ketil Kielland Lund – Keys
Ole Jørn Myklebust – Trumpet
Luis Landa-Schreitt – Cajon
Endre Hareide – Bass
Kenneth Ekornes – Drums

Tassili ble startet av Aissa Tobi og Ketil Kielland Lund. Orkesteret tar utganspunkt i stemmen, instrumentene og folkemusikken til Aissa. Tassilis musikk befinner seg i krysningspunktet mellom nordafrikanske og vestlige tradisjoner med Aissa som sanger og strengemann i sentrum. Ketil har bidratt med arrangementer, cd produksjon, vanning av kamelene m.m..

Aissa Tobi er fra Marokko og lærte å spille tradisjonsmusikk av sin bestefar i barneårene. Musikken Aissa og bestefaren spilte kalles Gnawi som er en lokal variant av Gnawa. Gnawa er kjent som transemusikk og har blitt brukt i healingritualer i Nord- Afrika. Musikkformen har eksistert i svært lang tid og er et resultat av møtet mellom islamsk sufi, vestafrikanske tradisjoner og marokkos urbefolkning berberne.

SHELDON BLACKMAN – VOCALS, GUITAR
Sheldon Blackman & The Soul Rebels The music I share is like food for the soul and enlightenment to the spirit, colourfull like the rainbow. Call it what you like, I call it “JAMOO” the gospel of Soca!! Roots, urban, Caribbean, conscientious heartbeat music. From conception, music has been an integral part of Sheldons life, he has grown up playing in a family band “The Love Circle” where his natural love for music was recognised at an early age and nurtured by the expert hand of his father the late great Ras Shorty I, pioneer of the musical genres of Soca and Jamoo- and father of the family band The Love circle. Sheldon Blackman, a bandleader, an accomplished composer, arranger, singer and musician, has accumulated an extensive collection of work and to see him live is to experience true world music fusion.

F E A T U R I N G:

BECAYE AW – VOCALS & GUITAR Becaye is a guitarist, singer and songwriter of the African Fulani (Haal Pulaar) people. Becaye spent his childhood in Dakar, Senegal, and it was here he first laid his hands on a guitar. Becaye is largely self-taught. After learning elementary guitar-technique from a Serere musician, he went on to develop his own style, listening to recordings and to the radio. His African approach to guitar tuning and his way of playing the instrument result in a sound similar to the cora. Becaye began his musical career in Senegal, playing with musicians such as Baaba Maal and Mansuur Seck. He has since then participated in many groups and projects, in collaboration with a variety of musicians.

BECAYE, JAY & THE KOÈJU PROJECT Jay has collaborated in the Koèju project several times during the last 4 years. Together with Åsmund Skuterud he has done live club performances both in Oslo and Bergen and in the capital of Cape Verde, Praia. Additionally, 2 of the musicians in the Koèju resident band, Robin and Øystein, plays in Jay’s band and together they have been performing in major festivals in Cape Verde several times during the last year. In other words, Jay is deeply linked to the Koèju project and we are very happy to have him with us this thursday, presenting some new clubmaterial and some famous “jay-remixx”.

A year back Anne Grønlund made a radio documentary about “Jay e Banda” for Jungeltelegrafen på P2, and.. in the same program another great artist caught our attention, namely the singer songwriter Becaye Aw. With his latest CD called SIBI, he has been awarded with the price “Crossover artist of the year”. We have been fortunate to have him with us in Nomaden this thursday, and we are looking forward to present a highly personal and engaging versjon of club music.

THE KOÈJU PROJECT

Since the beginning in 2004, the Koèju Project has done performances
in various clubs in Oslo, but also in Tokyo, Shanghai, Milano, Athens,
Cairo, London, Liverpool & Praia (Cape Verde). A number of artists has
contributed to the project:: Mari Boine, Tong Lan, Mohammed Sawwah,
Becaye Aw, Safaa Al-Saadi, Sebastian Haugen, Diego Brasil, Luis
Landa-Schreitt and many others.

The thought of working with live, loopfree club music came about
almost as an reaction to the metronome based music scene at the time.
The goal was simple, namely to combine the liveness and spontaneity in
acoustic live music with the strenghts and sonic possibilities in
programmed music. Thursdays at Nomaden Club will be a forum for live
club music, both electronic and acoustic, where artists with interest
in club performance can try out their projects.
