AHMED AG KAEDY
42-year-old Ahmed Ag Kaedy is a Tuareg guitarist and singer and the leader of Amanar de Kidal, with several albums on the acclaimed Sahel Sounds label. Compared to more amped-up versions of traditional Tuareg music, Ag Kaedy's eerily soul-stirring work harks back to Tuareg music's folk roots. His powerful solo performances strongly evoke the silence and freedom of the desert.
Ag Kaedy grew up surrounded by the rich musical tradition of his people, but only started playing music as he went to military training in Libya. A profound man of peace, he ended up trading his rifle for a guitar and returning back to his native Kidal in the desert region of northern Mali. There he formed the band Amanar. In 2010 they were awarded the prize for best new group at the Festival au Desert in 2010 and released their first internationally distributed album Alghafiat.
Recently he has been finishing up the third album of Amanar de Kidal and collaborating with German afrofunkers Onom Ageno, Finnish psych surfers The Shubie Brothers and French-based Australian experimental musician Will Guthrie.
BØGH/BÜLOW
Mikas Bøgh and Frederik Bülow, two experienced musicians from Aarhus, create a new sound by fusing jazz and club music. Their project, Bülow / Bøgh, aims for instrumental euphoria and to challenge the conventions of jazz. The music kicks people out on the dance floor and pushes to the limits of the usual concert experience and genre understanding - because when was the last time you started headbanging during a jazz concert?
DJ PIKIPIKI UNIVERSE
pikipiki universe is the creative alter ego of Liene Jurgelane - an event maker, facilitator and artist from Riga, living in Aarhus. In the realm of music, dj pikipiki universe shares her love of world sounds and organic-electronic music that invites to connect and reconnect - to oneself, others, the more-than-human world, and the ancestral. Her DJ sets weave together downtempo electronic beats, echoes of folk songs and melodies from different places in the world, diverse soundscapes from the vast living web of life, and her joy of free, authentic movement and dance floors that pulsate in the unique rhythms of our different bodies.
