Trondheim Jazz Orchestra & Marianna Sangita
"Σπίτι/Hjem"
Vocalist, lyricist and composer Marianna Sangita grew up surrounded by traditional Greek music and has throughout her career been open to music from other cultures
With the work Σπίτι /Hjem she wants to unite more of her musical inspirations
With an ensemble she could never dream of, of unique people and musicians with instruments that include oud, saz, tablas, yoik, accordion, saxophone, tuba, drum kit, cello, fiddle, cajon and various frame drums, the result is a fascinating musical melting pot that represents something completely new in Trondheim Jazz Orchestra's already diverse production.
Marianna Sangita has a background from the band Broen, as well as several projects with the Trondheim Jazz Orchestra (SKRAP, GURLS, Alf Hulbækmo), as part of Anja Lauvdal's Joni Mitchell Tribute band. For this project she has also brought with her the Spanish multi-instrumentalist Efrén Lopez (Jordi Savall, Stelios Petrakis, L´ham de Foc and others). With his close knowledge of Eastern music, he has been an important sparring partner in the preparations for the premiere in Molde. Together they are the duo ON.
