Norwegian here. Karpe Diem are legends in the earlier (domestic) hip-hop/rap scene in Norway. They started their career in the early 00s. They are known for their immigrant influenced upbringings, which they incroporate in their style. We love them
Yes, the song and the words are in norwegian. Karpe, even though they are young-ish, are getting old in the norwegian scene and music industry. They are really big an inovative, always evolving, and finally they are going deep with their heritage, embracing the sounds of their immigrant roots, not holding back. Both the sound and the messages are telling stories of growing up in Norway with their backgrounds and so on. It is new and fresh and awesome to see them going hard in with accents and all on this album, not being emabarrassed as they might have been when younger in their carreers. It's really beautiful.
They are popular only in Norway or in whole Scandianvia ? Because i know that they are maybe biggest in Norway, but are they popular for example in Sweden and Denmark ?
Swede here. I LOVE Karpe and their music and I hope that they will be famous in Sweden aswell. You can tell that they are evolving all the time and this is one a whole new level. So damn good.
Really cool that you chose to react to this Karpe song. The entire album is very good. The two members have roots in India and Eqypt and they have pulled a lot of inspiration from traditional music in these parts of the world and created something they like to call Diaspora-pop. Ive not been very interested in their former music, but Ive fallen in love with this album.
Hi, in case nobody has commented, he's singing about growing up in the world filled with plastic trees, where all people care about is more money. He's singing "hi dad, how are you doing"... Sort of a prayer for a dying world, from our children's perspective. The radio version is better, it has an AMAAAAAZING subwoofer beat to it, I recommend it :)
Also probably worth mentioning that he's promissed to give away almost all profit from his music, and so far he's keeping his word. He's given away his first 1 000 000 NOK .
The song is in Norwegian. Some of the members are not native to Norway, and yes it has an middle eastern elements to it💕 First time hearing this... this was AwZm❣🎼🎵🎶🎵
They just did a huge concert here where I live in Norway, at a football stadium 500 meters down the mountain / hill from me.....this song litterally shook the mountainside last night as they performed it, and the audience all sang their hearts out at the chorus so u could hear it echo through the norwegian fjord for miles...was kinda dope.
Karpe are incredible - you should definitely react to them more!! Their recent ‘sound’ and albums are about diaspora 🫶 by far my favourite Norwegian duo! And fun fact - the ‘new age’ recording studio is their actual studio.
Hi 😊 Cool that you responded so great at Karpes new song! I can imagine, you’ll like some of theire older work too. They starded as « Karpe Diem in 2000). In 2020, they started PAF- the Patel & Abdelmaguid Foundation- and gave/ still giving most of their income to refugees, immigrants and people living in asylum. Of course, these songs are written in norwegian- and more difficult to catch. I think you can imagine theire wibes and creativity in many songs and videos! Not at least in the film «Adjø Montebello» 2017 («Farewell Montebello») 👍🤩 Take a good listening,-many pearls in few shells! All the best 🤗
I really love this song, goosebumps all over. So proud of karpe for sampling arabic undertones and lyrics from a old song. The beat and bass is soo catchy, the messege of the song is up to date and powerful. Nice reaction, happy you Liked it❤️😎
If you watch the videos from the 10 consecutive concerts in Oslo it will have English subtitles. The last album is gold, but the tracks demand reading between the lines. If you know someone who is a first generation immigrant you will get it. The sound picture are fantastic, the dance group...well it is all good! Karpe is geniuses at work. I was lucky enough to attend one of the concerts and it was the highlight of my year.
Their stage show 2022 Oslo Spektrum Arena. Their shows are spectacular. In their Omar Shariff album they mix Norwegian language with Hindu, Arab and other languages. But «spis din syvende sans» is Norwegian lyrics all through, Oslo Spektrum 2013.
It’s tunisien songe and very famous song in North Africa region, ( tunisa , Algeria , morocco ) humbly this group they get famous when they use arabic tones , because it’s very rich! Don’t you , well let’s the world enjoy, i recommend also djsnak ( disco maghreb )
Yeah, so I don't really listen to Karpe, but, Toyota'n til Magdi at least shows some of the genre diversity of the band, and I think it has a better beat, though it's not to be considered deep lyrics :p ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-INvE0P-pHYA.html
Not true tho. Both Chirag and Magdi are born Norwegians. Chirag’s father is of Indian heritage but grew up in Uganda, his mother is from India. They both immigrated to Norway before Chirag was born. Magdi’s father is Egyptian and his mother is Norwegian.
They actually bougt the whole villa and made it to an experience type of wonderlandsentre with personal adaption to top 100 individual fans. Only they were invited to the experience. They asked every fan of a thon of questions before they came to the show. "What is your favourite dish"? A fan answered His moms stew. In secret Karpe found out the recipe from te fans mother and served it during the dinner/musicshow. Now that is a dinner and show :P
