About This Event
9 grader nord is a Norwegian, Tamil folk rock band that draws inspiration from a diverse range of musical styles, including Carnatic music, baila, and Tamil folk music. The band, consisting of sisters Mira and Dipha Thiruchelvam, Jakob Sisselson Hamre, and Jakob Sønnesyn, is known for their energetic, rebellious, and confident stage performances, incorporating various instruments like bamboo flute and cajon to create a unique and captivating live sound. The band name is Norwegian for 9 degrees north, where Jaffna in Sri Lanka lies, hometown of Mira and Dipha’s parents.
Catch 9 Grader Nord's unique blend of Tamil Folk and Rock music live at Aura Studios on Friday, the 30th of January at Aura Studios
Since their beginning in 2017, the band has performed at numerous prestigious Norwegian festivals and various club stages across Norway, in addition to bigger TV appearances. Their versatility has led them to exciting projects such as collaborating with the Norwegian Radio Orchestra, and their second album “Yalpanam” won a Norwegian Grammy.
The parents of sisters Mira and Dipha fled the Sri Lankan civil war in the 1980s and have since been dedicated to preserving their Tamil cultural heritage. This dedication is evident in 9 grader nord's music. The album “Yalpanam” reflects the band's deeply rooted desire to preserve their Tamil cultural heritage, which has been a significant driving force and motivation for their decision to sing in Tamil. The album is a chronological story that begins with the sister’s parents arrival in Norway and explores the constant quest for recognition and affirmation within their own community
