Sinikka Langeland

Description:

This is the first new solo album in four years from Norwegian singer/songwriter/cantele player Sinikka Langeland, who plays and sings the kantele, a traditional Finnish string instrument. The work sheds new light on Sinikka Langeland's uniquely personal idiom, integrating her songs into folk hymns, shamanistic rune songs, and traditional dance pieces, drawing text from multiple poetic sources, and expanding the instrument's range of expression. Few artists embody the spirit of place as comprehensively as she does, and her music seems to contemplate the wildness of the natural world and the interconnectedness of its inhabitants Recorded at Rainbow Studios in Oslo in December 2019. [Personnel] Sinikka Langeland (vo,Kantele)
