Norient with Coco Em & Ka(ra)mi: Cross-oceanic allies on the decks

SNAFU

Way of the Forest

Way of the Forest is shaped with over 40 Sri Lankan and international artists and collectives. Interwoven with interdisciplinary programmes (Mushroomings) ranging from conversations, excursions, performances, workshops and an open air cinema.

Shifting the pulse from Kenya and Swiss wintertime for a tropical January evening, Colomboscope takes great joy to present a session with cross-oceanic allies on the decks—facilitated through a festival season collaboration with the global platform NORIENT. This rare musical collaboration brings the freshest sounds from Nairobi to Paris for a shake down at Colombo’s SNAFU—dream project (in the making) of the multi-talented crew behind Jambutek and Pettah Interchange. Nairobi-based DJ, filmmaker, and Artistic Director of the 13. Norient Festival, Coco Em will be unleashing her contagious blend of genres from kudoro, linga, hip hop to afro house to electrify from ears to feet. She will be joined for an elevating set by Swiss artist, DJ and producer of Haitian-Hungarian origin, Ka(ra)mi, adding soul, house and Caribbean influences to the mix. The only thing we can foresee is that this night will be over sooner than anyone is ready. Norient is an audiovisual gallery and a community (of practice) for the sound of the world: contemporary music, quality journalism, cutting-edge research, projects, and events like the Norient Festival. Norient conceives music, sound, and noise as seismographs of our time, facilitating space and place for thinkers and artists from (currently) 50 countries, to tell new and different stories of the now and tomorrow.
