One of Norway?s most talented folk singer releases her first album together with three experienced musicians. The group called ?Firo? wants to reveal that old songs can be cool, funny and relevant even today. The repertoire on this album comes mainly from archive recordings of traditional vocal music from Gudbrandsdalen. A major goal of tese musicians was to find material that has remained more or less unused since it was recorded for preservation in the archives. The findings they made stretch from small snippets of songs and rhymes to skjemteviser (humorous songs), bygdeviser (village songs) and ballads. Even if the music is traditional, and the band members in Firo have done a great job learning tunes from old recordings, the material has automatically been coloured by their way of playing and how the music is performed today.
