Unganisha

Bio

Unganisha is a musical collaboration between a traditional musician from Kenya - Labdi Ommes (Orutu and vocals) - and an experimental electronic artist from Norway - Bernt Isak Wærstad (electronics). They’re in continuous pursuit of bringing east-african traditional music, western experimental art music and electronic club music together. Bits and pieces from two cultures are used as building blocks to create a new, culturally re-synthesized and personalised form of music!

The dynamic duo have performed extensively the last years at clubs and festivals in Norway and Kenya, including Bergen International Music Festival, Oslo World, Goethe Institute Nairobi, Oslo Afro Arts. At by:Larm 2020 they caught the attention of Dagsavisen, Ballade and NRK P2 - Arne Berg from Jungeltelegrafen (P2) named them as the most interesting act at by:Larm 2020. They released their first EP in February 2022, which got a lot of press coverage in Kenyan media establishing them as an act to follow in the East-African music scene.
