First of all: THANK YOU.

In just four editions, LAS PAPITAS JAM has grown from a simple idea into a vibrant community of musicians, artists, students, travelers, and music lovers. Every person who has come to play, listen, help out, or simply share the energy of the room has contributed to building this project.

That is why we are especially excited to invite you to the fifth edition of LAS PAPITAS JAM.

Over the past months, we have been documenting every single session. Hundreds of improvisations, spontaneous collaborations, and magical moments have been captured on audio and video. We are now curating the strongest material for the first collection of LAS PAPITAS TAPES — a series of live recordings documenting the creative energy that emerges when people meet without plans, without boundaries, and without fixed rules.

Over the coming months, we will begin releasing a selection of standout performances from previous editions. Your favorite moment may already be in the archive. Or perhaps the next jam will become the next tape.

But before we look back, we're ready to create new memories.

 THE EXPERIENCE

Hosted at Pappa Bar og Salong, our jam continues to follow the philosophy that defines us:

Low Threshold. High Level. No fixed setlists. No auditions. No pressure.

Just real musical encounters happening in real time.

Soul, Funk, Blues, Jazz, Motown, Rock, Reggae, Latin, Hip-Hop, and everything in between.

Every edition is shaped by the people in the room.

 FREE ENTRY & FREE FOOD

The tradition continues. Because we want everyone to be able to participate.

Come for the food. Stay for the groove.

 LAS PAPITAS TAPES

Since our very first edition, we have recorded every session.

We are building a living archive of Bergen's musical underground, and the first releases from LAS PAPITAS TAPES are coming soon.

Every jam has the potential to become part of the story.
