Alexandra Archetti & Steinar Raknes
The married couple Alexandra Archetti and Steinar Raknes have, each in their way, made a strong impact on the Norwegian music scene.
Alexandra Archetti has been the head of the important music festival Oslo World for several years. Steinar Raknes is a superb bassist (Stillhouse, The Core, Trondheim Jazz Orchestra) and vocalist, drawing full houses throughout the country.
Archetti lost her Argentine father in 2005: "Being multicultural is complex, and one of the most challenging aspects when a parent with roots in another country passes away is figuring out how to preserve one's identity." This question forms the backdrop for her musical debut. Alongside her musician husband, Steinar Raknes, she released the remarkable album "Malena" this year, consisting of 11 unique and personal versions of songs from the Latin American songbook.
We are proud to present this project to our audience during the festival. Singer Archetti conveys with presence and intensity, while bassist Raknes's musicality is just as original and full of vitality as we have come to expect from him. Expect a warming, poignant, and touching concert experience!
Concerts in our main program typically last between 60 to 90 minutes.
In Alexandraparken, there is an age limit of 18 years from 7:00 PM.
