The very last concert of the festival in 2022, Saturday 5.

The very last concert of the festival in 2022, Saturday 5 November at 23:30, is a real firework: Dubiosis Collective!

The tickets are sold out, so here it is wise not to wait too long if you want to catch the concert.

Almost 20 years after they were founded, Bosnian Dubioza Kolektiv remains a band that cannot be compared to much else, whether you are talking about your home country, the rest of the region or the rest of the world, for that matter. They are always ready for a fight - not only with xenophobia and fascism, themes they constantly return to in their discography, but also with safe bourgeois taste and the complacency of the music industry. Their music really stretches high and low, a multilingual mix of Balkan music, will, punk, reggae, electronica and hip-hop.

Saturday's festival concert at Cafe Sanaa, 5.novem

Together, they promise a groovy evening with groovy tunes by legends such as Poncho Sanchez, Joao Gilberto og Francis Santana. An evening with Los Pollos is suitable for both those who want to dance and those who want to listen. Remember dancing shoes!

Guillermo Ramirez – vocals, percussion
Bjørn Blomberg – saxophone
Sigmund Omvik – piano

The Ukrainian rapper, alyona alyona, have done s

The Ukrainian rapper, alyona alyona, has been very successful in recent years, and her fun and energetic music videos are viewed by millions. She is involved in society and is a role model in her home country, both because her lyrics are in Ukrainian and because they deal with important themes - often in a humorous way. The newest songs naturally have a message that bears more of an impression of the situation in the home country.

Alyona Alyona will play on Saturday 5 November, at 21:00 (the doors open 19:00, concert with Kasha first).

On Saturday evening, local Kasha is first out! Kasha born

On Saturday evening, local Kasha is first out! Kasha born Kashafali, is originally from the Congo. Her sound and voice are timeless and captivating. The music she makes is inspired by everything life has to offer and the effect it has on her and others. She shares her experiences with us through her playful and soft voice with beautifully captured melodies. She gives us a surprising and unique blend of Neo soul, RnB, pop and Afropop.

The last concert on Friday 4 November is PONGO (Portugal

The last concert on Friday 4 November is PONGO (Portugal/Angola). She has established herself as one of the world's leading performers of the Angolan club genre kuduro, a transatlantic hybrid of hip-hop, house, zouk og soco. Pongo adds inspiration from the music of his childhood in Angola, mixed with langa, zaïco, EDM, dancehall and tribal pop.

Last year, a packed Blå got to experience a magical concert with her at Oslo World, who have also invited her back to the festival this year. We look forward to sharing this experience with the public in Bergen!

Don't make the same mistake as all those who missed the concert in Oslo last year, but secure your ticket while it's still possible! Billettlenke and he was!

Super Besse is the first band on stage on Friday the 4th

Super Besse is the first band on stage on Friday 4 November, at 19:30. The music is very catchy and danceable coldwave/postpunk, and they are also moving in the direction of electronic music. The duo combines low-frequency techno rhythms with a bold and simple bass, nervous guitar and distant vocals.

The band is originally from Minsk, but currently lives in Berlin & Tiblisi due to the situation in his home country. They are clear in their position, and has also donated proceeds from his concerts to Ukrainian refugees.

Thursday 3 November concludes the festival day at USF

Thursday 3 November concludes the festival day at USF Verftet, where together with Bergen Jazzforum we offer a fantastic concert: Bombino!

Omara "Bombino" Moctar is one of the most influential electric guitarists in the world today. The influence of the so-called desert blues that Bombino together with the Tuareg legends of Tinariwen have been the foremost exponents of, is audible in increasingly large parts of modern guitar-based music. His style – lightning fast, elastic and deeply musical - it is simply impossible not to be infected.

I 2018 came his last studio album to date, "Dear". It was nominated for a Grammy for Best World Music Album, and with that, Bombino became the first ever artist from Niger to receive such a nomination. His last album, “Live In Amsterdam”, was recorded in November 2019, and released one year later on Partisan Records. It is a brilliant living documentation of an artist and a band in top form. He has played in Bergen a number of times before, and each time the audience and the magic have grown.

Second concert at the festival, Thursday 3 November k

Second concert at the festival, Thursday 3 November at 19:30, is also in collaboration with Folkemusikklubben Columbi Egg: a Norwegian-Argentine collaboration, with the great folk musician Chango Spasiuk and the sparkling Norwegian guitarist Per Einar Watle. Accordionist Spasiuk is today one of the greatest communicators of the Chamamé tradition, a northern Argentinian music form that mixes Spanish, African and Guarani traditions. Guitarist and composer Per Einar Watle, for his part, has specialized in string-swing and Latin American folk music. They have a Norwegian band with them, with brilliant musicians, at the concert!
