Trolldans

Kerstin Blodig (N/D): vocals, guitar, bodhrán, bouzouki Mia Gunberg Ådin (SE): vocals, fiddle, nykkelharpa Liv Vester Larsen (DK): vocals, fiddle, percussion These three strong musical personalities create a uniquely powerful blend: not only do their very individual voices and singing styles blend together in one distinct vocal sound, but they are equally strong as instrumentalists with two virtuoso fiddles and a groovy rhythmic guitar. Trolldans is their first CD together. Over the last year, they have gathered material, rehearsed in three different countries and played concerts to enthusiastic audiences throughout Scandinavia and Germany. quot;A Scandinavian trio of powerful womenquot; Bohuslänningen, Sweden quot;... a female trio which really makes you sit up and take notice ... The dreamy melodies from the fiddle and Nyckelharpa ... coupled with the strong and sensitive guitar of Kerstin Blodig form the musical fundament of this band, often rounded off with beautiful three-part vocal harmonies. Solo songs and a-capella further supplemented this sublime performance, which completely enthralled the audience. Frenetic and lengthy bursts of applause between the individual pieces were proof that even a folk music in a language which only a few people here understand - can be intensely moving and entertaining.quot; NOZ 'Grooving folk guitar, dynamic fiddles and powerful harmony vocals in different Nordic languages...one of the freshest sounds appearing on the Nordic folk horizon this spring.'
