Martina Almgren This Song of Mine, Mölnlycke cultural center

January 18 at 13:30 p.m.

Concert on the café stage with Martina Almgren, Ahmad al Khatib, Karin Burman and Owe Almgren. Jazz, Nordic folk tone and oriental moods. Fascinating sound and superb percussion in the setting of Tagore's poetry.

Percussionist and composer Martina Almgren, embarks on an adventure, where she invites the oud player Ahmad al Khatib, the singer Karin Burman and Owe Almgren, acoustic bass guitar to play together. Poetry by the Indian-Bengali poet Rabindranath Tagore is in focus, with thoughts on life that touch on our existence, longing and community.

The result is lyrical music, specially written for the group, which bursts with intensity and empathy. Together, the musicians find their way through a chamber jazz-oriental landscape characterized by thoughtfulness and the scent of a starry night.
During the concert, Martina talks about Tagore and his life, about the poems and what attracted her to set Tagore's lyrics to music.
The concert is part of Music in the library - a concert series arranged by Musikcentrum Väst.
