The world comes to Varanger

The painting is made by Hannah Bråten.

A new organisation is born in Vadsø; "Verden i Varanger", "The World in Varanger".
The aim is to make people from different cultures to cooperate in common concerts.

The first concert will be during the crab-festival Polar Spectacle Thursdag 13. of October in Vadsø.
Traditional accordion players (playing old Russian, Finnish and Norwegian music) will join with a Liberian Gospel-refugee-group and the folk-rock group Daap. Also with professional help from percussionist Nasra Ali Omar from Tromsø and the folk-musician Unni Løvlid.
How this extreme, different music will sound like when we mix it together? You`ll know if you come and listen.
