We would like to thank Global Oslo Music for an outstanding celebration of Becaye Aw's 60th birthday on November 6, and for choosing Cosmopolite as the stage to hold the concert!
First of all, there is an apology from Cosmopolite Scene: We came to market this concert as a collaboration between Global Oslo Music and Cosmopolite Scene, it was not. Global Oslo Music was the sole organizer of this concert and only rented our venue to carry out the celebration of Becaye Aw's 60th birthday.
Several of the most important musicians on a national basis took part in the celebration to honor Becaye. A concert experience we will remember for a long time.
We would also like to attach a very nice text Global Oslo Music uses to describe Becaye, because we could not agree more:
Ever since he came to Norway in the early 90s, Becaye has been an enrichment for the Norwegian music scene; his art knows no bounds, something we have been able to experience through his countless collaborations with other artists both in and outside the country. His ability to experiment with different expressions and techniques, places him on the top shelf among outstanding artists, not only in Norway, but in the world. Yes, we often say about Becaye that he is a world class musician!

The excellent polish bass-player Kinga Głyk, who will perform at Cosmopolite on the International Women’s Day on March 8th, got the opportunity to lead her band at a young age. This experience helped her become more confident and aware of her own opinions and desires. As a result, it made her a better person, she says in this interview.
Cosmopolite Scene are looking for dedicated volunteers who want to be part of an inspiring environment and contribute to creating amazing musical experiences. We want to expand our family, and we need your help!
This years festival lasted for three days, and each one was different from the other. The emotions that accompany listening to live music and the emotions of artists playing for the first time since months on stage, were enormous. We are greatful for the meeting with the artists of Djangofestivalen family, and the exchange of energy was the most wonderful part of the experience.
