Description
ANGRUSORI is in many ways an audience development project in the service of both Roma music and contemporary improvisation. We aim to breach audience barriers (geographically and socially), at the same time as we work at the highest artistic level within our fields. In addition, Angrusori will effectively profile the exciting idiosyncrasies of – respectfully – representatives from Slovakian Roma music and the Stavanger music scene. The renowned jazz-site All About Jazz proclaimed some time ago, that “Stavanger-based Kitchen Orchestra may be one of Europe''s best-kept secrets”, and this project is such a vital piece in the overall plan to further profile these musicians outside the local scene of Stavanger. For the Roma musicians involved this similarly has the capacity to lift their music outside the Slovakian countryside. And, just to add to that, Angrusori is the start of a long-term collaboration between venues, scenes and musical styles, which is likely to bear fruits for all involved well beyond the project period.
