Description

Rune Harder Olesen, Danmarks mest spillede musiker på radio og TV samt en af landets mest eftertragtede sessionmusikere gennem de sidste 40 år, har parallelt med sin karriere som sideman dykket ned i studiet af afrocubansk musik og er blevet indviet i batá-traditionen (omó aña).

Sammen med sin cubanske ægtefælle, den karismatiske sanger og danser Raisa Castro, har han dannet orkestret Ngánga, som også inkluderer deres to døtre, Sophia og Cecilia Castro. Bandet suppleres af to internationalt anerkendte musikere: cubanske Yasser Pino på bas og guitar samt Dawda Jobarteh fra Gambia på kora.

Navnet Ngánga stammer fra Bantú-folket i Vestafrika og omtales som både spirituel healer og musiker. Musikken i Ngánga er dybt forankret i den rige afrocubanske folkemusiktradition, som blev bragt til Cuba af vestafrikanske slaver fra det tidlige 1500-tal til midten af 1800-tallet.

Bandets diversitet er markant, både i forhold til etnicitet, køn og alder.

Musikken har en spirituel dimension, og gruppens udtryk er både kraftfuldt, melodisk og polyrytmisk. De kombinerer egne kompositioner med friske arrangementer af traditionelle afrocubanske sange og rytmer, som sjældent høres uden for Cubas grænser.

ENGLISH:
Rune Harder Olesen, Denmark's most played musician on radio and TV and one of the country's most sought-after session musicians over the past 40 years, has, in parallel with his career as a sideman, delved into the study of Afro-Cuban music and has been initiated into the batá tradition (omó aña).

Together with his Cuban spouse, the charismatic singer and dancer Raisa Castro, he has formed the orchestra Ngánga, which also includes their two daughters, Sophia and Cecilia Castro. The band is complemented by two internationally recognized musicians: Cuban Yasser Pino on bass and guitar and Dawda Jobarteh from Gambia on kora.

The name Ngánga comes from the Bantú people of West Africa and is referred to as both a spiritual healer and a musician. The music of Ngánga is deeply rooted in the rich Afro-Cuban folk music tradition, which was brought to Cuba by West African slaves from the early 16th century to the mid-19th century.

The band's diversity is striking, both in terms of ethnicity, gender and age.
The music has a spiritual dimension, and the group's expression is both powerful, melodic and polyrhythmic. They combine their own compositions with fresh arrangements of traditional Afro-Cuban songs and rhythms, rarely heard outside Cuba.
