Boda Boda is what you call an East African motorcycle taxi. It is also a collective of musicians who are inspired by Scandinavian and American jazz, as well as folk music from many corners of the world. We saw saxophonist Marthe Lea at Victoria earlier this fall as part of Bugge Wesseltoft's all new New Conception of Jazz.

The Swedish-Norwegian outfit Titta jag flyer play music with air beneath their wings. Subtle and humorous songs are propelled ahead by a well-oiled rhythm section and a crackling piano. Karl Nyberg joins in to take the sound over to glide mode.
