Oslo World: Sami Galbi

Hip-Hop/Rap

Futuristic North African dance party. The Swiss and Moroccan multi-instrumentalist and producer Sami Galbi draws on the music of his childhood, which he rediscovered as an adult in the Cabarets of Casablanca: raï and chaâbi music, interpreted in Galbi's own way, with analog machines, guitar effects and synthesizer. He has emerged from the alternative scenes of Switzerland in recent years, drawing on parallel musical influences such as US hip-hop, UK bass, house and Afro-Caribbean dance music. The North African folk music of his childhood is modulated, given pop texture and a dense club atmosphere. On his debut album, YLH BYE BYE, the listener is immersed in a rich poetic where Sami Galbi's storytelling unfolds through hypnotic refrains and soaring melodies. Entirely produced by the artist, the music was mixed by Tunisian producer Ammar 808. In concert, Sami Galbi delivers high energy performances, well suited for the opening party of this years Oslo World. All tickets to the opening concert with Marcel Khalife at Chateau Neuf also automatically include admission to Sami Galbi's concert at Betong later that same evening. Please note, however, that the concert with Sami Galbi has an 18+ age limit, with no guardian exception. Therefore, children's tickets purchased for the Marcel Khalife concert cannot be used for the Sami Galbi concert.
