A vocal ensemble out of the ordinary, Rí˜YST is currently undertaking a number of exciting concerts in the UK. In the fall the four Norwegian women that make up Rí˜YST (which is (old) Norwegian for voice ) leave for Mexico and a special musical project to take place in Tijuana where a local centre for the poor and deprived have invited Rí˜YST to perform and host musical workshops. The notion is that Rí˜YST will inspire in a novel way by the enchantment of their music itself but also by representing a culture truly different to that of Tijuana.

In late October Rí˜YST leave for an idealistic project in Tijuana where they will perform and host workshops at a local centre for poor and deprived. The guiding idea, conceived by Aidé Salcido, is that the uniqueness of Rí˜YST’s expression and the presentation of a completely different culture will inspire hope and interest in music to the users of the centre.

Although this is not my cup of tea how many times do you get to see a norwegian band play in Tj? Do you yourself a favor and schedule it for your Oct 07 activities.
