Text
Vår reporter Moa Skimutis har träffat Nomfusi, som beskrivs som en ny Miriam Makeba.
Bare ett fåtal artister har förmågan att imponera en publik lika mycket före Lionel Richie som Nomfusi gjorde.
Nomfusi föddes i en kåkstad KwaZakhele i Östra Kapprovinsen i Sydafrika. Hon växte upp med en ensamstående mamma som var medicinkvinna och en frånvarande pappa, som avtjänade ett långt fängelsestraff.
Nomfusi lät sig dock inte nedslås av sin situation och har nu blivit en av Sydafrikas starkast lysande och mest kända stjärnor. Nomfusi strävar efter att inspirera andra med sin världsbild att "livet handlar om val" och att "man måste övervinna sinnets fattigdom först".
Nomfusi varierar musikstilar som afropop, afrosoul, gospel och ballader med maskandi-gitarrer och dansanta township-rytmer.

It is difficult to pinpoint what makes Urkult festival in Sweden so magical. Whether it is the setting, the people, the atmosphere, the performances or the philosophy, but whatever it is, Urkult festival is a truly enchanting experience.
Urkult – The setting
The three-day-festival is located in northern Sweden, between Sundsvall and Umeå, near a village called Näsåker. Despite being set deep in a pine forest forest it is also somehow high up in the clouds, situated above a valley looking down over the river Ångermanälven. The views are simply breathtaking.
The festival has been held every year since 1995. But it comes as no surprise that people have been meeting at this location here for more than 25 years. People have met at this location for thousands of years. Down in the valley carved into the rocks on the rapids are the largest collections of rock-carvings in Europe. The Petroglyphs at Nämforsen comprise of over 2000 carvings dating back 6000 years.

URKULT – The People and the Atmosphere
Urkult is not just a folk and world music celebration. It is inclusive eco-friendly gathering of like-minded left-wing people.
For the first weekend of August environmentalists, vegetarians and non-conformists meet in Näsåker for concerts, workshops, theatre, poetry slams and ecological food.
Some may say the clientele are just a bunch of odd-balls – hippies, crusties, travellers and anachists with nothing better to do. Well, if you think this, then kindly stop reading now and click on another website – because this blog post is a celebration of the open-minded and the socially liberal who make up the counter culture.
At Urkult there are people of all ages dressed in eccentric clothes and costumes. But it is the friendship and feeling of peacefulness which unites the festival goers.

Ett möte med den mångfaldigt prisbelönta sydkoreanska musikgruppen Ak Dan Gwang Chil (ADG7), ett färgstarkt svängigt band från Sydkorea som trollbinder sin publik.
ADG7 ligger i framkanten för den nyväckta folkmusikrörelsen i Sydkorea och har beskrivits av New York Times som ”... ett snurrigt showband med alla drag av K-pop med koreograferade vokalister, godis färgade kostymer med studsiga, glada och ofta svängiga låtar som kopplats samman med rituell och shamanistisk folksång..."
ADG7 skapades år 2015 i samband med 70-årsdagen av Koreas befrielse från det japanska kolonialstyret. Deras musik handlar om innebörden av befrielsen och Sydkoreas önskan om återförening.
Reporter Moa Skimutis träffade dem under musikfestivalen Urkult i augusti 2022 och intervjuade Kim Yak Dee och Hong Ok i bandet och några i publiken.

„Wenn die Antwort unmöglich wird, bedeutet das jedoch nicht, dass die Frage des Sinns ihre Kraft eingebüßt hätte. Im Gegenteil bietet die Krise des Sinns die Chance zu realisieren, dass es nicht darum gehen kann, „den“ Sinn der Welt zu erfassen, sondern die Welt selbst als kontingente Sinntotalität anzusprechen”.

The Medieval week at Gotland was great this year, I'm very grateful to have the opportunity to go there almost every year since I started 2009... Or was it 2008? Anyway, this year was awesome! I met both old and new friends, some new from Urkult but also on spot. The week has been filled with food, fire, partying, laughter, new experiences and some crafting (I put the silly horns on the leather cap as shown and made the feather-thingy) I'm very happy with the week, thank you all who made it amazing! (at Visby)
