Traditional arctic music with a contemporary, urban edge

FRØHOLM/TILLUNG is one of the most exciting folk music duos in Norway today.

With this album the Folk Music Archives of Agder presents tunes played by three of the best Hardanger fiddlers of the region.

A wide-ranging sampler promoting a fine variety of the most recent releases from the Norwegian traditional and world music scene.

Adjágas’ music is gentle, peaceful, dreamlike, spiritual and utterly engrossing. It is, at the same time, strangely alien.

“Come home” is a personal production made on a naked and down to earth manner; fiddles, nyckelharpor, vocals and harmonium.

In 2008 ”Seven winds” toured Norway, Sri Lanka, Korea, China, India, Nepal, and Tanzania. Now they are releasing their first CD as a trio on Heilo label.

It is often said that music is a live activity that should be seen performed and not only listened to. The truth of this assertion is very much proven when attending a concert by the Valkyrien Allstars. Music has no boarder or age – only the simplicity of an open mind. And as they express it themselves: “The music isn’t meant to be nice and pretty, but should give you a kick deep inside of you.”

Maros presents songs that are connected with nature, people and animals. It is a journey through a musical landscape where past and present meet with their different moods.
