Sampo Soikoon! concert: Mood Suprim x Asa

Description in Finnish

Mood Suprim x Asa Mood Suprim x Asa yhdistävät voimansa Mood Suprimin on musiikillinen tutkimusmatka identiteettiin, suomalaisuuteen ja eri kulttuurien väliseen vuoropuheluun. Konsertissa yhtye kohtaa suomalaisen hiphopin omaleimaisimpiin ääniin kuuluvan Asan . Illassa sykkii energinen ja monimuotoinen äänimaailma, jossa itämaisten Sufi-melodioiden mystiikka kohtaa modernin rytmin ja Itä-Helsingin katutodellisuuden. Mood Suprim kuljettaa yleisön hypnoottisen grooven, runollisen herkkyyden ja improvisaation läpi, kun taas Asa liittää kokonaisuuteen oman terävän kielensä, yhteiskunnallisen näkemyksen ja ainutlaatuisen, vuosien varrella hioutuneen läsnäolon. Yhdessä he rakentavat lavalle kokemuksen, joka ei ole pelkkä keikka, vaan räjähdysvoimainen, hengittävä show, jossa rytmi, runous ja rajoja rikkova ilmaisu sulautuvat hetkessä kuultavaksi ja koettavaksi. Yhtye on julkaissut kolme singleä legendaarisen räpartisti Asan kanssa. Mood Suprim julkaisee 16.10. ensimmäisen fyysisen levykokonaisuutensa Mustien perhosten silta. Julkaisulla yhtye yhdistää omaa musiikillista ilmaisuaan saamelaisartistien kanssa. Marouf Majidin, Esko Grundströmin ja Tomi Saikkosen muodostama Mood Suprim yhdistää sufilaisen musiikkiperinteen, suomalaisen kansanmusiikin, hiphopin, elektronisen musiikin ja Lähi-idän rytmit omaleimaiseksi nykyilmaisuksi. https://www.instagram.com/asapinnallinen https://www.instagram.com/moodsuprim
