HERE:2025 - Minga Festival encounters at HERE:2025

Minga Festival encounters at HERE:2025SEPTEMBER 21 / 18:00VITLYCKE - CENTRE FOR PERFORMING ARTS IN COLLABORATION WITH GERLESBORGSSKOLAN BOHUSLÄN In the winter of 2025, Gerlesborg School Bohuslän and the ambitious multicultural music festival Minga began a collaboration that resulted in a cracking concert evening with musicians from Iran, India and Senegal in the middle of the February darkness. Now Minga Festival and Gerlesborg School Bohuslän take the next step forward and bring this unique collaboration to Vitlycke - CPA, offering a mini Minga pop-up festival within the program of HERE:2025. Minga Festival Known for creating dynamic and innovative musical encounters, Minga Festival is proud to offer an exclusive taste of its unique philosophy during the fourth edition of the HERE Festival. Minga, a name derived from an Inca language meaning "joint action for a collective purpose", brings together musicians from different cultures and musical backgrounds. The result is new, exciting repertoires that emerge during an intensive work week, and which challenge both musicians and listeners to explore new musical universes. In connection with this year's HERE festival, the audience now has the opportunity to experience some of the outstanding artists from Minga's previous editions, and see how the festival's vision is realized on stage. Among the participants we hear the duo Afra Rubino and Andreas Krambias, who beamed together in a first musical meeting at the Minga festival just a year ago. Their concert shows evidence of the magic that can occur when different musical worlds meet and intertwine. In addition, award-winning piper Fan-Qi Wu from Taiwan will perform a solo concert, a Minga Festival tradition that highlights the unique expression of the individual artist.
