About this event

Mesopotamia Meets the Arctic. Mosaicpotamia explores memory, place and cultural connection through Mesopotamian folk and electronic fusion, combining traditional melodies and modes with live sampling, electronic sound design, piano and improvisation. Led by musician and composer Mazlum Karataş, whose Tromsø projects include Tesi and Tromsø for Palestina Band, the duo also features pianist and songwriter Stine Maren Steien, known for work with Lisa Skoglund, the Midnight Concerts and her solo project. Steien brings Bardu dialect and influences from Norwegian folk, soul and singer-songwriter music. The project returns to Tromsø World after appearing in 2025.
