about

Two of the largest icons within traditional Norwegian folk music have finally worked together to deliver their new album The Sound of Telemark on September 25th.

As renowned musicians on Harding fiddle (Buen) and harmonica (Groven), these are genre-defining musicians are among the highest ranks in Norwegian music history. Despite their life long careers where they have met several times along the way, Groven and Buen have never worked together on a specific project. What happens on September 25th is therefore quite special.

On The Sound of Telemark you will hear a truly authentic mix of traditional folk music in its many variations - some hailing from long ago in Norwegian history, some made by themselves. Buen himself has written many new lyrics that they have composed music to, and have invited Norwegian folk singer Anne Gravir Klykken to perform them.

In other words The Sound of Telemark is the album for every traditional folk music enthusiast out there, and many more.
