Evidence of hunger and confidence: Kalandra at Gorilla, Manchester, UK

Author Sabrina Ramdoyal - 15.10.2024

By embracing the ‘uncategorized’ label, headliners KALANDRA challenged the conventional boundaries of their musical artistry to further flourish with their diverse audience. This freedom was evident with the Norwegian troupe’s initial debut headlining tour; their Mancunian set illustrated the band’s unique appeal, which gathered the listener’s emotional journey that their music promised. With the only support surrounded by a fortress of creativity with guitars, a floor tom, and keyboards with various looping programmes, LILI REFRAIN navigated her space with a sense of deliberateness and intention. This performance was an evolving narrative, with each piece serving as a distinct experience. The way the Italian solo artist delicately finessed each component reflected a deep understanding of music and the emotions that evoked the night.
