Listening Session: Salla Salazar – The soundtrack to a life

Fotografiska is bringing Listening Sessions to Sweden in collaboration with Ametist Azordegan – a new way to experience music together. In an intimate, phone-free setting, artists present a personal selection of songs, played in their entirety, interwoven with stories, memories, and unique anecdotes.

For this evening, Salla Salazar of Redline Recordings hosts a personal listening experience for a seated audience. He shares tracks that have served as the soundtrack to his life, reflecting on the people he has met, the places he has visited, and the events that have shaped him. Many of these individuals and stories also feature in the book Mejor Futuro.

Written by Amat Levin, Mejor Futuro tells the story of brothers Salla and Masse Salazar, from their upbringing in northern Botkyrka to their journey with The Latin Kings and the founding of Redline Records. It is also a story of family, migration, segregation and a Sweden in transition – and of how hip-hop evolved from a genre on the margins of society into a defining force in Swedish popular culture.

The evening is curated and presented by Ametist Azordegan in collaboration with Fotografiska. Copies of Mejor Futuro will be available for purchase at the event, with an opportunity to have the book signed. Join us for a unique listening experience where music and the shared experience of listening take centre stage.
