Doppelkonzert Karlijn Langendijk & cocotá

In the organizer's words:

On Friday, Karlijn Langendijk and her touching compositions will take to the stage, followed by cocota with their very own version of West African music. cocotá Vocalist Fama M'Boup and guitarist Christian Stoltz unite their eccentric love of Senegalese synth-pop from the 80s, modern jazz influences and their own compositions with extraordinary musicality. On stage, cocotá create a soundscape that is an echo of interpersonal encounters. The guitar completes the last movement sung, the voice accompanies the solos and the conversation meanders between absolute lightness in dynamic flights of fancy and flat thoughtfulness. The music of cocotá is an homage to the past, an echo of traditional West African music, while exploring new paths in their musical world. cocotá.com Cocota videos: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RPuQDUcr0Os Karlijn Langendijk Their compositions go beyond simple emotions and instead capture a spectrum of complex feelings that are deeply felt but difficult to articulate. As a guitarist and composer, she is fascinated by different musical genres and cultures, which she fuses into a unique style. Her evocative melodies capture the imagination and are reminiscent of a movie soundtrack that exists only in the mind of the listener. In her live performances, Karlijn switches effortlessly between dreamy ballads, rhythmic grooves and interpretations of well-known songs. Among other awards, she won 1st prize at the Francisco Mário International Prize for Modern Guitar - Europe in August 2023. karlijnlangendijk.com Karlijn videos: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EDbn2G97q4M https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tPaVAwwImN4 This content has been machine translated.
