Sidiki Camara Group

Welcome to the concert with Sidiki Camara Group! Experience a musical encounter where traditions from Mali blend with a modern expression. The internationally acclaimed percussionist Sidiki Camara meets jazz musicians in a collaboration characterized by folk tunes, improvisation, and manding music. He won the Spellemann Prize in 2023 for his album «Return to the Traditions». Sidiki has been central to the Norwegian music scene for quite some time and is a very busy and popular musician. Sidiki Camara Group consists of: Sidiki Camara on N’goni, percussion, and vocals; Audun Erlien on bass and guitar; Eirik Askerøi on guitar; and Mattis Kleppen on bass. We saw them at the National Museum in the spring, and it was so captivating that we booked them for Kulturhavna. Welcome! On September 19, you can also experience Sidiki along with Tore Gjedrem, aka Ost, as the duo Djembe Tekno.
