"Forbidden for minors under 18" the Finns immediately decipher when a film bears the abbreviation "K-18". At least not suitable for tender souls is also the music that the eponymous band around the Finnish guitarist Kalle Kalima brings to the stage. When Kalima pushes the boundaries of the electric guitar and his colleague Veli Kujala fans out microtonal worlds on the quarter-tone accordion, the boundaries between E and U, between jazz and rock, between improvisation and composition become blurred.
For their album "Out to Lynch", the musicians were awarded the "Emma", the Finnish Jazz Grammy. And also in Germany, for example in Kalima's adopted hometown Berlin (a city that can well tolerate an "artist with a penchant for the bizarre" like him, says Kalima), the sound powerhouse around the Finnish guitarist has long since found its audience. High time to invite the energetic troupe to the Alte Oper!
