Idag gick flyttlasset! Lester ❤️🎈

V novejši zasedbi, ki sta jo ustanovila Mats Gustafsson in Goran Kajfeš, so se zbrali švedski glasbeniki različnih generacij z željo nadaljevati multikulturno vizijo glasbe, kakršno je pred desetletji zastavil trobentač Don Cherry. Kvintet povezuje svobodnjaški in spiritualni jazz, tradicionalne, predvsem afriške godbe ter prvine eksperimentalne glasbe in elektronike. Christer Bothén (donso n’goni, basovski klarinet, kontrabasovski klarinet), Mats Gustafsson (tenorski saksofon, flavte, klarinet, elektronika), Goran Kajfes (trobenta, žepna trobenta, sintetizator, elektronika), Juan Romero (konge, berimbau, tolkala), Johan Berthling (kontrabas) 31.

*ANNOUNCING* Goran Kajfeš Subtropic Arkestra & Avin Omer, 10"/digi EP BANDCAMP ONLY 26.6.2026 >> sounds & preorder: wejazzrecords.bandcamp.com Swedish trumpeter Goran Kajfeš and his Subtropic Arkestra surprise music fans with a Bandcamp only EP featuring Kurdish-Swedish vocalist Avin Omer. To be released on 10" vinyl and digitally only on Bandcamp, the EP marks a first in a series of three EPs featuring different vocalists to be released in 2026 by We Jazz Records. The Subtropic Arkestra, already a fan favourite bringing together various Swedish jazz and psychedelic music scene heavy hitters, fires on all cylinders here, performing originals and re-contextualizing traditionally-influenced material with Omer. The set of three tracks features the original compositions "Desmala Min" and "Monsoon", latter with lyrics penned by the Iraqi Kurdish poet, Şêrko Bêkes (1940-2013). Additionally, the band & Omer tackle the re-arranged traditional composition "Sulemani" to epic effect. Avin Omer shines all the way through as the brilliant soloist of this set, leaving the listener to long for more. Then again, you can always hit "play" again.

Goran Kajfes Tropiques - Hypnotisk jazz med djup och närvaro Goran Kajfes Tropiques skapar ett helt eget musikaliskt universum – en suggestiv blandning av jazz, minimalism och drömlika ljudlandskap. Med musiken från det Grammisnominerade albumet Tell Us, förstärkt av en briljant stråksektion, bjuder de på en kväll som vill sakta ner tiden och ge plats åt eftertanke. Det är musik som rör sig bortom det snabba och ytliga – och in i något djupt, vackert och hypnotiskt. 🗓️ FREDAG 20 FEB 2026 🕰️ 19:00 📌Östergötlands museum Bild av @fredrikkylberg66
