Kama Kollektiv - Pre-studio Presentation Of A New Album at Splendor

KAMA Kollektiv is an Amsterdam-based quartet that tells stories about love, transformation, small everyday pleasures and the mysticism of nature. In a theatrical and mesmerising style, their music draws influences from Nordic folk, indie pop, film scores and jazz & improvised music.

Charismatic bandleader and frontwoman Kirsi-Marja “Kiki” Harju enchants the audience with her eccentric singing and lyrical trumpet playing. She and the bass player Jonathan compose music for the band.

The band has released two studio albums, KOTI (Kirsi-Marja Harju/Eclipse Music, 2019) and TOIVO (BERTHOLD Records, 2021). KAMA Kollektiv has been touring excessively in the Netherlands, Germany and Finland. In 2021 they were selected to showcase at Europe’s biggest jazz conference jazzahead! in Bremen, Germany. At the moment the band is working on their third album, to be recorded in May 2023 and released in 2024. At this special concert we will hear the music of this new, yet unrecorded and unreleased album played live for the very first time, just before the band hits the studio....
