Kista Världsmusikfestival

In English A GLITTERING WORLD MUSIC FESTIVAL IN KISTA Kista World Music Festival is a celebration in colour, art, dance, culture and tradition. All united in a language understood by all, namely music! On the 21-26 November2006 we are all set once again. Kista World Music Festival is being arranged for the 6th year in a row. Several world-reknown artists in World Music have guested the Festival, e.g. Zarbang & Banafsheh Sayyad [Iran/USA], Combonations [Norway], Kamkar Ensemble [Iran], Alazar [France], Ale Möller, Golbang, Makonde, Raks el Hawanem, Zakala, Avalon, Jalal Naghshbandi, and many more. The festival also hosts seminars, workshops and school concerts, which are held in venues in Kista and at the Culture House and The Royal College of Music in Stockholm. The aim of the festival is to encourage the establishment of a national venue for world music in Kista, create a Nordic forum for world musicians and highlight Kista as a melting-pot of cultures, religions, languages and nationalities, in which the democratic convergence of various groups (community, business and public sector) provide a platform for creativity. This year the festival will focus on India. A culture whose ancient and rich heritage of music and dance is a source of inspiration to artists from all over the world. We are proud to present great artists from India such as violinist K.Shivakumar with accompanying musicians, odissidancer Aruna Mohanty and tablaplayer Suranjana Ghosh to name a few. The festival will also present worldmusic groups who have released new material this year as well as the legendary singer Habibzadeh from South Iran, Isa Baluchestani and Jalal Nagshbandi.
