Nils Berg Cinemascope (Rootsi) / Jõulujazz 2019

Christopher Cantillo has been working with artists ranging from Daniel Johnston and Sir Was to Tobias Delius and Kristin Amparo. And Josef Kallerdahl, co-founder of swedish jazz label Hoob Records, leads his own quartet “Here’s To Us”, alongside performances with Lina Nyberg, Music music music and Josef & Erika.

In April 2011 their debut CD Popmotion was released on Hoob Records. Since then they have toured Scandinavia, the U.S., Canada, Europe, Algiers and Japan. Vocals, the second CD and first movie by the band, was released in 2013. In 2016 Nils Berg Cinemascope released their third album “Searching For Amazing Talent From Punjab”.

In 2018 Nils Berg Cinemascope premiered their second film at the Göteborg Film Festival.
