Modern ballroom dancing with Oslo Big Band and Rune Klakegg

Modern Ballroom dancing Nothing fades faster than the modern. The big hair, the shoulder pads, the ultra-cool slaphand groove, or Pérez Prado's mambo fade back to become a memory of a bygone era. Yet, the reconciling veil of nostalgia can give all of this a new value when the dust has settled, and the time is ripe for rediscovery of a half-forgotten epoch. Composer and pianist Rune Klakegg delves into the past and hopes that the music presented by Oslo Big Band at this concert will delight an audience that has experienced a bit of everything. Latin American rhythms, transformed reggae, degenerated waltz, and other undefined but danceable music are at the core of these self-composed songs. And the accordion is back in big band music!
