Sudan Dudan (N)
In a remarkable interplay of two voices surrounded by the sounds of guitars, Norwegian zither, fiddle, banjo and mandolin, Sudan Dudan interprets melodies that have been shaped through generations.
Their 2006 debut album Sudan Dudan was met with enthusiastic reviews and earned the duo the Norwegian National Broadcasting’s ‘Folk Music Record of the Year award. 2010 saw the release of the much longed for second album Kari og Ola, also this to great approval. Kari og Ola is a compilation of old songs dressed in a mix of Norwegian and Anglo American folk traditions. This is singer-songwriter music from the valleys of Norway at its best!
“Sudan Dudan carries out Norwegian medieval ballads and lullabies wrapped up in American old time. The duo performs beautiful and heartbreaking song treasures, accompanied by langeleik, guitars and vocals” (Havresekken booking).
