When tradition is treated with fearless love, bands like Malmin can emerge.
The duo, who specialize in traditional music from Rogaland, have created a three-part album of folk songs and Åshild Vetrhus mulled beer. It has become a minimalist, captivating album of hidden local treasures from old sources and archive recordings.
Malmin's project is to convey the deeply human nature of this music and open it up to the modern listener. And the path they have taken goes through the heart.
Fiddle, langeleik, singing and custom-built electric guitar and mandolin are colored by distortion and amplifiers. In the encounter with modern technology, the songs become even more powerful, and more open – both for connoisseurs of folk music as well as for fans of droney, suggestive music in more electric genres outside the mainstream.
Without well-known concert fiddlers in the region, the slåtte music in Rogaland was never modernized and developed for use in performances and concerts. In this way, this music preserved a rawness and originality that is sometimes more rock than rock itself. Therefore, it is perhaps not surprising that Rogaland music would become the meeting point for Anders Hana, who has a background in experimental noise rock, and Olav Christer Rossebø, who for years has built bridges in the terrain between Norwegian alternative pop and folk music from the USA, Greece and Norway.
At this concert with Malmin and Vetrhus, you will hear music for celebration, for love, for making amends and repenting – and music for dying. Performed with drive, warmth and love for the past with three pairs of feet firmly planted in our days.
