Fliflet and the Writers

Songs of Bergen
World premiere of new Bergen songs – 225 years after the Bergen anthem Nystemten first was sung .
We really should sing the praises of our towns , especially Bergen . Although Bergen has a bountiful bouquet of songs narrating happenings and yearnings in streets and homes , many of the old favourites are timeworn .
In Songs of Bergen , musician and lyricist Gabriel Fliflet has invited Frode Grytten , Stig Holmås and a number of other writers to create entirely new Bergen songs – tender and burlesque , sober and nostalgic .
Gabriel Fliflet sets music to the lyrics and performs the songs with musicians Jørgen Sandvik , Kristoffer Chelsom Vogt and various treasures of musical guests . The wing-man for the evening is Bergen ’ s young , rhythmical poet Erlend O . Nødtvedt , who pens new texts for the occasion . He teases and lampoons the songs in his own uniquely perceptive style .
Gabriel Fliflet has had a number of commissioned compositions and composed Åresong for the Bergen International Festival in 2010 with Jon Fosse . m

A passionate mix of Latino , jazz and hip hop made for dancing .
Lariba combines salsa , rumba , Reggaeton , jazz , cumbia , hip hop , reggae and anything else that can be branded as “ Latin rhythms ”. They sing and rap in five different languages , their songs bubbling over with attitude , creativity and energy . This may seem to describe a random fusion of styles , but it actually sounds far from casual . The energetically professional and accomplished musicians play refined , they play effortlessly and they play from the heart .
The group comprises musicians from Cuba , Switzerland , Sicily and Brazil . In an inspired way they have managed to collect all of these musical threads into a collective expression of party , dance and fun .
The music has a drive and a pulse that simply entices the audience onto the dance floor , which is precisely their goal : “ We came from the North , South , East and the West , to test the rhythms that we love the best . salsa , hip hop , jazz – the important thing is that you ’ re shaking your ass !”
