Description
Moddi, the moniker of 32-year-old Pål Moddi Knudsen from Northern Norway, was an activist before he was a songwriter. Unmistakably evident in his previous project 'Unsongs' - a collection of banned songs across the world, Moddi continues to defend and advocate for the most important and relevant issues that we're faced with today, with the resonate 'Like In 1968'.
'Like In 1968'´ will be his fifth studio album, gathering inspiration from the events of 1968 and its lasting impact throughout history. The musical, cultural and political currents that converged at the end of the 1960s shaped the music that we listen to today, with events including the rebellion against the parent generation, protests against the Vietnam war, environmentalism, the feminist movement, the civil rights movement and indigenous rights movements.
The year 1968 is iconic for so many reasons, all of which have to do with hope and despair. It was the year of the Tet offensive in Vietnam; the year when the American Civil Rights movement came of age; when Martin Luther King and Robert Kennedy both fell to an assassin's bullet, and the year that young people took to the streets of Paris, London, New York and Prague, convinced that the world had reached a crossroads where a new dispensation was both desirable and achievable.
