All the other musicians in Bekkas' Magic Spirit Quartet are from the Nordic countries, so the listeners can expect to experience an encounter of the North African and the Scandinavian traditions. The second performer of the evening is Sylvie Courvoisier Trio, who charmed last year with their album Free Hoops.
