Ragnhild Furebotten / Aldri på en søndag (N)

Aldri på en søndag (Never on a Sunday) is fiddler Ragnhild Furebotten´s second solo album, following the acclaimed debut Endelig Vals (Finally Waltz). Her interpretations of traditional music from northern Norway, and her own compositions, combined with stellar horn arrangements by two of Norway´s most celebrated jazz composers, make this a truly new musical experience.

Fiddler Ragnhild Furebotten interprets and conveys the traditions of the northern Norwegian folk music, and is one out of few that puts attention to this region. Apart from being a soloist, she is a well-liked ensemble musician, playing with top Norwegian bands such as Fotefar and Hekla Stålstrenga.

Aldri på en søndag had its debut act at the festival Kalottspel in 2010 and the music from this celebrated performance has been recorded and is expected to be released in October 2011. Furebotten is known as a solid conveyor of tradition, although with a distinctly personal form of expression and strong innovative elements in her music.
