In 2024, when Bodø was European Capital of Europe, we made sure there was something rhythmical to experience for visitors and local audiences. That year's festival was for COLLABORATION. Collaborative partnerships can occur at various stages of the creative process, and it is one of the most significant creative forces driving music today. We sought a common denominator, mutual links, connections leading to an overall goal. The result of this collaboration was something greater than the sum of each individual's contribution. It also strengthened the experience of self-esteem and community.
