Rådhusplassen: Main Stage 17:30

- Word art with vibes from the Middle East and Furuset

In recent years, the Furuset artist Hiwá has made a mark on the Norwegian rap scene with an audiovisual expression and a sound image that has drawn inspiration and sound from both the Middle East and the Nordics. In 2021, he made an impression with his English-language project "E6" in 2021. The Pacify-produced EP was launched together with a short film series directed by Hiwá himself, which depicted life in Oslo through his eyes. Last year he also started rapping in Norwegian when he participated in the song "Min tid" with Arif, Yosef from Madcon and Jae-R, one of the songs from the hit series "Flus".
