On the Alppipuisto stage, we will see The Finnish-African Afrojazz Quintet, founded by artist-musician Alvar Gullichsen, which is known as the house band of the Helsinki Afrojazz Club. The band performs a wide range of West African funk, reggae, soul and world music - as well as music of their own.🎶

In Alppipuisto, the Afrojazz Quintet, featuring vocalists Emilia Sisco & Charlotta Kerbs, transports the audience across the Atlantic from West Africa to New Orleans. During the trip, the audience is allowed to both listen and dance along!

Emilia Sisco, who sings retro and blues with a deep emotion and voice, has been acknowledged, especially in recent years in many fields. She was named Newcomer of the Year in the Finnish Blues Awards in 2017, and the acclaimed debut album You Ain't Heard was released a year later. This has also taken Emilia Sisco and her band to perform all over Europe.

Charlotta Kerbs is a versatile and soulful vocalist and composer whose repertoire includes jazz, blues, soul, funk and world music. Charlotta has been active in many arenas in Finland, Europe and the USA. Charlotta composes music for her own repertoire and also theater music.

The Afrojazz Quintet feat. Emilia Sisco & Charlotta Kerbs will perform in Alppipuisto on the 10th of July.

At the Afrojazz Club goes Alppipuisto event 10.7 we will see an unique dance and music creation Unelma - Rêve!☀️

In Sibiry Konate Company's (working group) Unelma - Rêve, West African performers tell the story of their own countries. Through the traditional art of Burkina Faso, Guinea and Senegal, the viewer also has a view of the presence of the cultures in Finland.

Unelma - Rêve reflects on how identity changes in a new country and how different cultures and new traditions shape Finland. How can we adapt to a new culture and country without abandoning our origins?

After the performance, the group will hold a workshop open to all, where we will be able to experience West African dance and live music.

Choreographer, director: Sibiry Konate Company

Let's take a closer look at the artists performing

Let's take a closer look at the artists performing at Afrojazz Club goes Alppipuisto!🌞 Es-ow and The Ridial Band are representing four different countries in Africa and Europe: Senegal, Finland, Congo and Cameroon. The band's name "Ridial" means "real" in Senegal.

The band's front man and singer Es-ow wants to take a stand with his music for human rights and children's rights. In addition to these values, good dance music and great stage energy are important!

The band’s music is a mix of West African pop music, afrobeat, hip hop, reggae and jazz. In addition, all the members of the band bring something to their music from their own culture.🫶
