Mats Gustafsson & Kimmo Pohjonen

Gustafsson on sax, Pohjonen on accordion: it’s been a long time coming, but finally it’s here. Two men hell-bent on helping Druga Godba ease into its fifth decade as they both embark on their seventh.

News of the first musical meeting of two of the highest-profile progressive musicians of this century has swept across Europe like a whirlwind. A surprise? Not to the Druga Godba programme team, who have been keeping it under wraps like a winemaker ageing wine in his best oak barrel. Knowing both musicians’ numerous full-blooded projects, perhaps the best-known being Gustafsson’s Fire! Orchestra (which has numbered 45 musicians on occasion) and Pohjonen’s astounding Earth Machine Music, we were pretty sure they’d be up for doing something together ― particularly given that they’re both celebrating a special anniversary this year, much like the festival itself.

Pohjonen says that he has only ever wanted to play with two saxophonists in his life (and one of them is sadly no longer with us), while Gustafsson relishes the challenge of playing with musicians of the broadest possible profiles ― so we can be pretty sure that these two men of 1964 will devise the most exclusive (and the most unpredictable) musical event of the year. And no, it’s no surprise that it’s happening at Druga Godba.
