Sami Galbi

Sami Galbi will play a concert at Chateau Neufs Betong stage, after the opening show with the legendary Marcel Khalife in the auditorium. All tickets to Marcel Khalife include entry to the Sami Galbi concert. The Swiss and Moroccan multi-instrumentalist and producer Sami Galbi draws on the music of his childhood, which he rediscovered as an adult in the Cabarets of Casablanca: raï and chaâbi music, interpreted in Galbi’s own way, with analog machines, guitar effects and synthesizer. He has emerged from the alternative scenes of Switzerland in recent years, drawing on parallel musical influences such as US hip-hop, UK bass, house and Afro-Caribbean dance music. The North African folk music of his childhood is modulated, given pop texture and a dense club atmosphere. On his debut album, YLH BYE BYE, the listener is immersed in a rich poetic where Sami Galbi’s storytelling unfolds through hypnotic refrains and soaring melodies. Entirely produced by the artist, the music was mixed by Tunisian producer Ammar 808. In concert, Sami Galbi delivers high energy performances, well suited for the opening party of this years Oslo World. All tickets for the opening concert by Marcel Khalife at Chateau Neuf automatically include entry to Sami Galbi’s concert at Betong later that night. You can also buy a ticket for the Sami Galbi show only.
