Clive Chin:
“Meta and The Cornerstones have taken us back to the foundation of reggae music”.

Meta and the Cornerstones ga ut sitt første album «Forward Music» i 2008, og slapp sitt nyeste album «Ancient Power» 30.April 2013, med bl.a singelen «My Beloved Africa» i samarbeid med Damian Marley og « Tijahni» med Capleton.

United Reggae, Erik Magni, om albumet «Ancient Power»;
«I received a copy last year and instantly fell in love with the uplifting, warm sound, Meta Dia’s Bob Marley-tinged singing, his positive lyrics and approach and the soulful roaring groove.»

«Meta’s unforgettable vocals are complemented by the incomparable sounds of his band The Cornerstones. Meta and The Cornerstones’ music is warm and embodying, immensely addictive, and destined to forever change the dynamics of Reggae music. Through pure musical genius and humble spirits, the band successfully fuses Reggae, Afro-Pop, Hip-Hop, Rock, and Soul music with passionate lyrics in English, French, Wolof and Fulani.»

Meta and The Cornerstones channels the roots of Reggae while simultaneously breathing new life into the genre, thus creating what critics have called a “soul-pounding spiritual experience” during their live performances. Inspired by Alpha Blondy and Lucky Dubee, they have shared the stage with Reggae stars Luciano, Steel Pulse, Clinton Fearon, Israel Vibration, and Tanya Stephens amongst others. In 2007, the band was personally invited by Senegalese-born international
superstar, Youssou N’Dour to perform at his annual African Ball concert at the Nokia Theater in New York. The following year Meta and The Cornerstones proudly released its first album entitled “Forward Music”. Of this work Clive Chin; Jamaican producer for The Wailers, Dennis Brown, and Lee ‘Scratch’ Perry, notes, “Meta and The Cornerstones have taken us back to
the foundation of reggae music”.

When the members of Continuo Theatre were preparing their  new street project called NOW….?, theydecided to work only with their immediate personal feelings, experiences, dreams and perceptions collected during their everyday  work and life. During the time they have worked out an open structure which provides a lot of space for improvisation and work with stimuli from the time and place where a particular performance will take place.

Radio news, newspaper articles, generally accepted “truths”, which are taken as given and never discussed, and topics which are discussed all the time, dreams and the latest experiences of all the Continuo members – all these have become the sources of the new performance. After having used personal life stories of particular people in their performances, this time Continuo is trying to introduce a theatrical experiment – it is an attempt of producing the performance in a “live broadcast”, i.e. now.

Continuo is based on physical theatre above all. A performer´s body, breath, voice, words and singing are brought face to face with the image of the world whose formation we all participate in. What is stronger? Our own inner feelings and what we experience ourselves or our opinions and attitudes which are formed under the never ending influence of our environment?

Are we able to say anything authentic or is it possible nothing but to copy, cut, and patch together? Are we able to accept our experiences, feelings, states, pictures from our dreams which we might not understand and we are not able to express in words although they are true because we have experienced and experience them?  NOW….? is an attempt to transfer these pre-verbal states of a soul into such a form which can be communicated to other people even if it is not expressed in words. It is expressed in the movements of the performers´ bodies and various visual means. It is expressed in the unique co-existence of a fragile human body and its soul. It is poetry with as well as without words, it is poetry on “the edge of understanding where words fail although there is still a sense.” (T. S. Eliot)

Empty Frame presents “Stars” by Anette Moi, a 28 year old illustrator, graphic designer and artist based in Stavanger, Norway. Moi finished her bachelor degree in graphic design last year at London Metropolotan Universty in England. Last year she had her first soloshow, “Funfair”, at Reedprojects Gallery in Stavanger, Norway.

With the exhibition “Stars” Moi shows different portraits of musicians she listens to when she draws. Music is inspiring and important for Moi´s drawings. The portraits are Moi´s tribute to the real legends. Legends like Jimi Hendrix and Tupac are some of the stars that are portraited in the exhibition.

Rakija er et norsk-serbisk band som spiller balkaninspirert musikk. Repertoaret består hovedsaklig av egenkomponerte låter, men de byr også på tradisjonelle sanger fra Balkan som de gir nytt liv og egen signatur.
«Rakija er et norsk-serbisk band som spiller balkaninspirert musikk. Repertoaret består hovedsaklig av egenkomponerte låter, men de byr også på tradisjonelle sanger fra Balkan som de gir nytt liv og egen signatur.

I september 2011 ga de ut sitt debutalbum, «Ojda!» (en balkansk versjon av «heisann!», «hopla!», eller lignende glade kraftuttrykk). Plata er en reise gjennom bandets varierte og stemningsskapende repertoar. Fra det melankolske og vakre, til fullt trøkk med instrumentalsoloer, vokal lidenskap og heftige rytmer».
