Bare 3 days to Bergen International Music Festival 2021! Woohoo!
Second concert Saturday is also with an Oromic artist, Hawwii H Qananii. She is well known among the Oromic population, which consists of approx 60 million people in the world, and in recent years has had concerts both in Europe and in Africa - and for over a million spectators in Oromiya! She is currently in the studio recording her debut album, that comes out in 2022.
For the occasion, Hawwii has put together a band consisting of musicians with different musical backgrounds, which provides a unique and colorful community: Totoba (Oromiya), Lelo (Brazil), Gin (Cuba), Stella Marie (Norway / Philippines), Kenny Larsen (Norway) and guest artist Will Freeman (Sierra Leone) - as well as two Oromic dancers; Dabi & Chaltu.
Oromo folk music is mixed with Latin American and African rhythms, with a hint of the West!
Join the party!!! Tickets at bio @ bimf_2021
Now it's just 4 days left to the Bergen International Music Festival 2021!
Meet Gutu Abera, which is the first concert out Saturday night!
He lives in Bergen, but grew up in Ethiopia with oromo traditional music, melodies and rhythms. The interest in music was aroused in a meeting with some of the greatest Oromo musicians, who fled Ethiopia due to political persecution. With music, he wants to honor and continue untouched music treasures, and he is well known in the Oromic diaspora and environment of Ethiopia through the song Oromiyaa, in collaboration with color games. The latest song, They do not wash, took youtube by storm, and was also named the best oromo song of the year in Ethiopia.
I 2019 he started the project Gutu Abera together with Mira Thiruchelvam (9 Degrees North) and Bård Årvik (Hum). The collaboration colors the rhythms and melodies, and music has influences from many music genres such as jazz, blues, bath and table. Rhythmic variations alternate between oromic rhythms such as dhichesa, baaroo og afro beat. He has a star team with him at the concert; Dipha Thiruchelvam, Anney Niyokindi, Martin Wright, Bård Aarvik, Jonas Hamre, Runa Underhaug, Mira Thiruchelvam and Nils Henrik.
Good atmosphere and guaranteed danceable!

5 days left to the Bergen International Music Festival 2021 and we present the latest band out Friday night; LUISON AND CUBA!
Luison Y Cuba plays traditional Cuban music, the genre that in this country is best known through Buena Vista Social Club.

Among other things, he has played with La Descarga, Mambo Companeros and Ellayali, and has a number of appearances behind him both nationally and internationally. He also tours with Rikskonsertene, and both young and old people around the country have experienced this charismatic musician.
With him, Luison has a great bunch of musicians; Hadez Heriberto Hernandez, Morten Husse, Gerardo Humberto Orrego Rocco, Raciel Torres placeholder image, Lars Sutterud and Håvard Sannes.
This will be a great end to Friday night - and luckily it can be danced!

6 days to Bergen International Music Festival 2021!
Friday 22 October is Meelodi's second concert on the program;
Meelodi released their third album in November 2020, and has garnered very good feedback, Aftenposten Writes, among other things; «Winter's nicest surprise» «It must be allowed to hope that more than me now discover this surprise from Bergen. The city that now also convinces in this global genre ».
Meelodi started as a project between the Bergen-based duo Ole Andre Farstad and Medi Farmani (Iran). Through their first two albums, they collaborated with a number of musicians from home and abroad in an exploration and experimentation with the setting of poems by famous Persian poets. I 2019 came singer Nawar Alnaddaf (Syria) included in the project, together with a permanent ensemble consisting of some of Norway's foremost musicians; Snorre Bjerck, Anders Bitustøyl and Per Jørgensen. The expanded crew and the new record The Great Blue Wheel, mark a new era for Meelodi.
We look forward to a great music experience 🔥🔥🔥
