17th December  fra 20.00 – 03.00

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.

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.
