Oslo Culture Night is organized by the Department of Culture\, the City of Oslo in collaboration with the city's cultural institutions\, organizations\, artists\, performers and businesses. \nKhalid Laaouam & Zawya\nMoroccan gnawa and aissawa music\n, Arab-Andalusian music and Sahrawi desert blues\n, interspersed with a small dose of Nordic jazz. The band Zawya presents both irresistible dance grooves and spiritual songs\, taken from Morocco's rich traditional music. \nGnawa and aissawa music has its roots in healing rituals linked to religious mysticism\, where the music puts the listeners in a trance that will heal both body and soul. \nThe band consists of guembri player and vocalist Khalid Laaouam from Meknes\, vocalist and percussionist Othmane Hmimar - known from the Moroccan rock band Hoba Hoba Spirit\, Øystein Aarnes Vik on drums\, Inger Hannisdal on violin and Andreas Vangen Andersen on guitar. \n\n\n"I TRAVELLED"\nCan there come a day when people forget where reggae comes from and what the genre represents? \"I Travelled" is a multi-media show that takes a deep dive into the history and development of reggae through dance, percussion, DJ-ing, poetry and visual art. "I Travelled" is not a pure concert\, DJ session\, dance performance or video installation - but is all of these at the same time. \Reggae music has become a worldwide phenomenon. How has this music genre\, developed by poverty-stricken artists in the slums and ghettos of Kingston\, Jamaica\, inspired what has become a vibrant international movement? What happens to the music and those who created it when it becomes an international and commercial product? \Here we gain a deeper understanding of the genre's origins in African rebellion against the slave trade and anti-colonialism. Furthermore, we point to the music's role in political movements in England and Africa and contrast it with contemporary pop music that uses elements of the music. \The performance is developed from an idea by Dominic Reuben\, artistic director of "I Traveled" in collaboration with Global Oslo Music. \nOn stage: \nShirley Adffo Langhelle - dance\nSidiki Camara - percussion\nDominic Reuben - DJ \n\n\nIF\nIF (Infinite Journey) is Luiz Murakami & Tuva Færden. The music consists of their own songs and traditional songs that they present in both solo and interaction with harding fiddle\, guitar\, lyre\, the Japanese flute shakuhachi and vocals. \nLuiz and Tuva met for the first time at a festival in Switzerland in 2019. Throughout the pandemic, they have kept in touch and a musical collaboration began to sprout. Luiz was born in Rio de Janeiro\, Brazil\, a place where music is always present\, where the streets and bars are constantly filled with rhythms and different musical expressions. He is half Japanese and also has roots from Madeira\, Portugal and Italy. This colors the music he plays and makes him a very versatile musician. \nTuva Færden is a Norwegian folk musician from Oslo and has in recent years made a name for herself on the Norwegian music scene in several different projects both as a musician and dancer. \"Brazilian music and Norwegian folk music have several exciting similarities. For example, the Harding fiddle can be compared to the Brazilian instrument rabeca. Luiz and Tuva quickly found a common denominator that they wanted to explore further. \The concert you will hear at Oslo Culture Night is the result of a week's residency and is their first concert together. The material they play consists of their own songs and traditional songs that they present both solo and in collaboration with the harding fiddle\, guitar\, lyre\, the Japanese flute shakuhachi and vocals. \n\nDoors open at 19.00 | Start: 20.00 \nFree admission URL:https://www.mela.no/arrangement/oslo-kulturnatt-rytmiske-reiser-pa-melahuset/ ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://www.mela.no/wp-content/uploads/2022/06/Kulturnatt-Mela2022.jpg END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
