Jazz at Kampen: Amanda's Christmas

Amanda Kamara with her band invites you to a soulful Christmas concert featuring unknown gems Amanda decided to organize her first Christmas concert in 2015 in her hometown of Namsos. It turned out to be a somewhat different Christmas concert with mostly unknown Christmas songs in the genres of soul, funk, gospel, and jazz. This proved to be a great success, and over the years, her Christmas concert has almost become a tradition for the audience. She has repeated this success several times here in Kampen, Oslo as well. With new inspiration, in the form of encounters with new musicians, Amanda Kamara invites you this time to a cozy evening at Kampen Church! For the occasion, Amanda is joined by trumpeter Lyder Øvreås Røed, drummer Emil Norman, bassist Alf Høines, and guitarist Martin Nodeland, all musicians she has collaborated with extensively over the past year. Amanda Kamara is a singer, songwriter, and actress from Namsos. She has worked at the Norwegian Theatre and has performed in productions such as The Book of Mormon, Lazarus, and Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. She has also acted in the audience favorite Mamma Mia!, and this fall, she will play the role of La Chocolat in Moulin Rouge at Château Neuf. Amanda is a regular vocalist in the jazz band at Sommerro and is currently working on her own music.
