Tehetraki
Guitars, pedal steel, kaval
Armed with traditional instruments, quirky time signatures and a musical sense of humour, the ensemble Tehetraki invites to a different Christmas ! On December 1, 2024, Tehetraki will release its first album, "Ei Annerledes Jul (A different Christmas)", consisting of the group's own interpretations of known and loved ones Christmas carols that are dressed up in the finest musical fabrics that the three wise men have carried with them themselves from the Balkans and the East. From the most hurtful and low-key hymns, to breathtaking journeys across sea and land. A number of musical traditions meet each other in harmonious and rhythmic harmony fighting game - A true Christmas miracle! With them on the album, they have brought along a number of talented guest musicians, each with their own unique specialization that spices up the music: Shble Saleem on oud; Canberk Ulaş on the duduk, Jarle Vespestad on tapan, Bjørn-Petter Tøsse on Bulgarian accordion; Edvard Helvig on piano; Eiliv Ribe on fiddle; Finn Guttormsen on electric bass; Eskil Jessen on vocals. Tehetraki came about as a trio during the bachelor's studies in music in 2013, where Daniel Deltchev, Milad Amouzegar and Karstein Grønnesby met each other. With a joint musical curiosity, fascination for metrical systems and humorous cunning, Tehetraki quickly became a highlight at both Christmas parties and parties in the music community. After a few years break, the group is back; bigger and more exciting than ever!
