RIFF

A bubbling melting pot of music , dance rhythms and messages from all corners of the world .
Yuzzo ( pictured ) and The Front Line Band mix reggae , hip hop and African music . They sing about love , but never take it for granted . It ’ s about hope and the battle for freedom , but also about dance and having fun on the way there .
Meelodi consists of multi-string-instrumentalist Ole André Farstad and painter Medi Farmani on vocals . Together with a number of guest artists they serve an eclectic mixture from all corners of the world .
Bergen Afro Cuban Jazz Orchestra guarantees festival music with irresistibly danceable rhythms spiced with a pinch of jazz . Here is a treat for those who want to dance and those who want to listen .
RIFF is being arranged for the third time and has at its foundation great words such as roots , identity , divergence and fellowship . But most importantly it is a limitless celebration of music for the feet , head and heart .
The evening is hosted by the dedicated cultural ambassador and dancer Chiku Ali and you will hear Sanjally Jobarteh on the African kora harp .
