Lykke Li and CocoRosie - closing concert
June 6, 8-10.30 pm, Main Stage, Dramaten
CocoRosie grew up separately and met up again in 2003 when Bianca left Brooklyn and went to Paris where she turned up unannounced on her sister Sierra’s doorstep. They realized that they had both come to love playing music and singing. Six years and many records later the Casady sisters’ indie-folk-tronic duo has made it. They will be charming the sun to rise with the help of a whole battery of instruments. CocoRosie play on toys, a harp, flutes, guitars, musical boxes and a whole range of percussion instruments.
This is not the first time CocoRose are heard at Dramaten. Last year their album The Adventures of Ghosthorse and Stillborn featured in the sold-out Swedish success performance of Hamlet. Blogcomment
Lykke Li, at the beginning of her musical career, broadcast her bold and cock-sure plans for the future. She was to tour the world and every performance would be sold out. Now, a few years later, this is exactly what happened. Her debut album was critically acclaimed and she has performed and released records in many parts of the world. It must be the greatest success story ever.
A Lykke Li concert is not like any other concert. Anyone who has ever been to one, including pop music fans, knows that the air begins to vibrate. The spell-binding, intoxicating artist sings and the whole world listens. You will soon agree that the praise is well-founded. Blogcomment
