Helsingin Juhlaviikot: Mbongwana Star, Trio Toffa,Huvila-teltta, helsinki21.8. At 19:00
A multicultural, changing, rugged, tough and tireless hot spot of creativity. Kinshasa, the third largest city in Africa, is all of this. This is also true of Mbongwana Star and its unique musical concoction reflecting life in the modern day Congo.
From the ruins left by the 2013 breakup of Staff Benda Bilili, who also sold out Hulvila Festival Tent when they played in Finland, rises Mbongwana Star, a group that steers clear of easy compartmentalization and disrupts the clichés of African music. Yakala ‘Coco’ Ngambali, Nsituvuidi ‘Theo’ Nzonza and producer Liam Farrell have built a sound machine based on Congolese rumba and soukous traditions that generates raw, minimalistic urban energy.
The rhythmic evening is started off with Kari Ikonen’s latest group, the Trio Toffa, which features a fusion of afro-pop-jazz.
Trio Toffa starts at 7 pm. Mbongwana Star starts at 8.30 pm.
Doors: 5.30 pm.

Turku Jazz Festival,Panimoravintola Koulu, turku21.8. At 16:00
16:00 Aura Stage, Brewery Restaurant Koulu: Kasperi Sarikoski & Nuance
Kasperi Sarikoski – trombone
Artturi Rönkä – piano
Jere Haakana – guitar
Vesa Ojaniemi – bass
Jonatan Sarikoski – drums
Kasperi Sarikoski is the brightest star among Finland's young generation jazz trombonists. No wonder, thus, that he has established himself convincingly despite his young age, proving himself in such stellar outfits as Ricky-Tick Big Band and Teddy's West Coasters. His own group, Nuance, is a quintet brimming with expressive force and original vision and unafraid of mixing popular genres with jazz.
17:30 Aura Stage, Brewery Restaurant Koulu: Turku Jazz Orchestra & Teemu Viinikainen: Tarantino!
Vellu Halkosalmi – conductor, arrangements
Teemu Viinikainen – guitar
Turku-based composer-arranger Vellu Halkosalmi has tailored a unique Tarantino-themed concert for the local top big band Turku Jazz Orchestra and guitar virtuoso Teemu Viinikainen. A strong emphasis will be given to Tarantino's three musical trademarks, all of which can be traced back to the 1960s: instrumental surf, soul and composer Ennio Morricone.
The acclaimed guitarist will be backed by 17 Turku-based professional jazz musicians who have experience in performing with the likes of Iiro Rantala, Jukka Perko, Severi Pyysalo and Aili Ikonen.
Day ticket: 32,50 / 27,50 / 29 € (+ service fee 2,50 €)
