Madcon

at den Atelier Doors: 7:00 pm

ARTIST BIOGRAPHY

Until very recently, the world might not have been familiar with Norwegian hip-hop… That’s until platinum-selling duo Madcon – Tshawe ‘Kapricon’ Baqwa and Yosef ‘Critical’ Wolde-Mariam – have become worldwide ambassadors for the genre. Both born in Norway, both to African parents, their latest album, So Dark The Con Of Man, is a strange mish-mash of genres, mixing live instrumentation, female vocals and dance beats in a way more reminiscent of the eclectic approach of Outkast or Gnarls Barkley than the steelier beats of US rap. The single Beggin’ is a global smash. Hear it once and, like Gnarls Barkley’s Crazy, you won’t be able to shake it. With a full live band, Madcon brings their textured, melodic hip-hop heavy on the dancefloor rhythms to den Atelier.
