Every year, Porvoo Jazz Festival wants to present something new!
This year’s special feature is Ping Pong. The festival invites the cream of Finnish jazz musicians Riitta Paakki, Rocka Merilahti, Rafa Postel and Valtteri Pöyhönen to play in a ping pong tournament with the lively Danish organ-drum duo, Born2Bingo. The band sets the rhythm for the jazz musicians’ ping pong face-off. The results of the mini-tournament will determine how the show continues on stage.
The incredible Born2Bingo, masters of organ jazz, Simon Eskildsen on organ & Daniel Sommer on drums, have been playing together for almost 20 years, are ready to entertain their audience. Based on friendship, the duo offers a mix of tight rhythms, beautiful melodies, and anything in between – all with a twinkle in their eye.
