Adama Janlo
The multi-talented Adama Janlo has just released a new album, A Free Woman, to overwhelming reviews.
In a short time, Janlo's career has taken off to a much greater extent and much faster than anyone could have expected. She was awarded the Norwegian Blues Union's Young Artist scholarship during the Notodden Blues Festival in 2023, in 2024 she returned to Notodden with two of her own festival concerts, club and festival concerts have been lined up and she was recently selected to be Norway's contribution to the European Blues Challenge in Katowice, Poland in April next year. She has also been invited to perform on stage at Notodden once again during the blues festival in 2026. Adama Janlo's career is currently shining.
Adama Janlo is a firework of a vocalist and has been described as "the most powerful and energetic Norwegian soul voice" by music journalist Rolf E. Wulluf. She operates within blues, neo soul and gospel.
Adama Janlo has attended the Little Stevens Blues School for several years. In 2025 she returned to the blues school as a vocal instructor. She says she loves Notodden Blues Festival. Now Adama Janlo and Notodden Blues Festival are taking another step forward together. It is a pleasure for us to show our faith in the artist Adama Janlo, and to put on another special concert at Notodden Blues Festival with this great talent.
