On the following day, jazz pianist Harald Lopez Nussa plays at the festival. Mahmoud Ahmed's show is also on 6 November. The Ethiopian star plays "jazz, soul and funk like you've never heard it before".
Etran Finatawa plays their strange mix of blues guitar lines, catchy African rhythms and special song with peculiar chanting on Friday 7 November.
The festival continues on Saturday 8 November at Sentrum Scene with Amadou & Mariam and their mix of American blues, rock and soul to African rhythm, Cuban and Indian rhythms. On the same day Besh o droM play Balkan music at Parkteatret.
Portuguese Mariza, "the first lady of fado", closes the festival in Oslo Konserthus on 9 November.
The theme of this year's festival is "borders", and the festival hopes to "cross borders, move from one place to another, from one musical genre to another".
