är en ny konsertserie initierad av Semente Cultural Productions under hösten och vintern 2022/2023. En gång i månaden kommer Semente att presentera en unik livemusikupplevelse där en internationell världs-/folkartist spelar med en etablerad svensk jazzinstrumentalist och kompositör. Grunden för dessa konserter är att - för en nyfiken publik - presentera artister från olika länder som komponerar ny musik och spelar ovanliga instrument tillsammans med en välkänd svensk musiker som är etablerad i jazzvärlden. Tanken är att låta artisterna föra en dialog mellan sina originalrepertoarer och genom sina instrument, vilket också ger utrymme åt improvisationen.

DUETS - Dialogues between international folk/world and Swedish jazz voices

DUETS is a new concert series at Stallet Världens Musik during autumn and winter 2022/2023. Once a month, we will present a unique live music  experience where an international world/folk artist plays with an established Swedish jazz instrumentalist and composer. The basis of these concerts is to present to a curious audience artists who compose new music and play unusual instruments from different countries, on stage with a well-known Swedish musician who is established in the jazz world. The idea is to let the artists have a dialogue between their original repertoires and throughout the voices of their instruments, giving space to the improvisation as well.

The concert is in partnership with WOMEX, the biggest Music Fair in the world,  since some of the international artists have been showcased by the biggest international music fair.

Martha Mavroidi (Grekland - röst)

Martha has collaborated with important musicians and ensembles such as the legendary Greek folk violinist Stathis Koukoularis, ECM artist Savina Yannatou, English folk singer and violinist Eliza Carthy.. With her Quartet she has performed in various venues in Europe and the USA. Martha is a member of the vocal quartet "Yasemi", and she conducts the “Happy Hour Choir”, a workshop in the form of a vocal orchestra, and the Greek Folk Choir "Rodia".
