At the heart of this programme is love—not as a single mood, but as a broad landscape of relationships and memories. Drawn from several of Ola Onabulé’s albums, the songs explore love in different relationships: between parents and children, as well as between partners.<\/p>

Ola Onabulé’s music brings together soul, jazz and African musical traditions. This stylistic diversity is unified by the art of storytelling at the heart of his work: words, rhythm and melody become parts of a single narrative. The symphony orchestra broadens the songs’ palette of colours and dynamic range, allowing them to unfold on a larger scale.<\/p>

Ola Onabulé and the Liepāja Symphony Orchestra have already shared the stage at the “Great Amber” Concert Hall. This programme is therefore not their first encounter, but a continuation of an ongoing musical dialogue.<\/p>
