Multiple award-winning Senegalese/Swedish duo Sousou & Maher Cissoko are crossing borders in their music just like in their life together.

Trumpeter and composer Ellen Pettersson combines flugelhorns with live electronics and synths to create vast, atmospheric sound worlds. With swinging grooves and punk bass lines, music is created that moves in the borderland between jazz and pop. Her first solo record "ORIGO" was released on the Flora and Fauna label in May 2022. The music is instrumental, thoughtful and hopeful and is best described as "the night bus on the way home".
