The first time you see Ida Long, you can't help but be impressed by the assertive presence of this woman.

She performs with bare feet and a modernized gothic style. After she begins the first rhythm, the only feeling you have in yourself is hypnosis.

She is not only singing but dancing, acting with every tune. Besides the musical satisfaction, you witness a visual festival. Her voice presents you with power, passion and melancholy at the same time.

Folk musicians’ different backgrounds form harmonious sound

The atmosphere at Soleo café and bar in Örebro was different than usual on September 16.

At 19:00, three gleaming women welcomed the audience with their velvet melody. Drinking coffee was more enjoyable while listening to the relaxing polka rhythms, played by the women’s band, Kurbitz.

Innovative new band performs at Live at Heart

By  Anna Smelskaya

During the Live at Heart festival last week,  there were several promising bands from Örebro and beyond.

I knew about Lady bird before the concert. Actually, they were the reason I came to the festival. I went to one of their concerts in the springtime, and for me, it was one of the major musical events of this year.

From the first moment of the concert, Danish singer Lydmor presents the energy of Robyn, colors of Imogen Heap and the peaceful melancholy of Kate Havnevik.

The softness in her voice perfectly matches the electronic sound, and she reflects her passion and femininity in all her songs. In every rhythm, it’s possible to feel the professionalism of Lydmor’s band and the harmony between her and them.
