Get ready for a cosy evening with an all-star team in folk music! Målselv trio with vocals, fiddle and guitar, meets Bodø trio with vocals, drums and bass.

Where: Davvi álbmogiid guovddáš / Centre for Northern Peoples
When: 16 September
Time: 7.00 pm

These are two trios with a perfect match in music dating. When both vocalists also master both keyboards and guitar, the match is perfect!
Songwriters Lena Jinnegren and Pål-Are Bakksjø have quite different backgrounds and musical backgrounds, but their songs have a recognisable slant on life. They put into words the ups and downs you might recognise, and they describe the trends and idiocies we more or less consciously surround ourselves with. We also get an insight into what inspires new songs, and why some songs are created - and others are not. The songs are spiced up with new beats from Ragnhild Furebotten, and everything is performed by a brilliant group of musicians.
«Om & Men» was commissioned for the Nordlys Festival 2020, produced by Folkemusikk Nord/Kultur i Troms, which is also taking the concert on tour around Northern Norway.
