A Something Else mini-festival bridging improvised music, contemporary dance, and Mexican son jarocho music and percussive dance (zapateado) traditions. A double bill putting a trio (and maybe more) with Grisell Macdonel (bass) and Paola Nieto (dance, zapateado) alongside Jaranas del Norte, a Helsinki-based group playing the African/Caribbean/indigenous/Spanish-infused son jarocho music from Veracruz, Mexico
Free entry, suggested donation €5-€20 (mobilepay or cash)

SOMETHING ELSE is a concert series for improvised music focused on new meetings of musicians from across Helsinki’s free improv, experimental, jazz, electronic, and global music communities, hosted at Kallio’s Musta Kissa bar. New small-ensemble groupings are highlighted each time, with an emphasis on surprise, difference, curiosity, energy, and connection. Hosted by Wilson Tanner Smith.
