Description
On Med Ashild Vetrhus, under the Malmin moniker, you’ll hear original organic grooves and timeless tunes from three masters of the untamed, hypnotic, raw and chanting folk music of Rogaland: Anders Hana (also known from the bands Moha! and Naaljos Ljom, both with releases on the Norwegian Rune Grammofon label), Olav Christer Rossebo and vocalist Ashild Vetrhus.
This record consists of traditional and spiritual music from the Rogaland region in Norway (in the south-west of the country, around the city Stavanger).
The album includes upbeat ‘dance’ and nostalgic folk music with a ‘religious’ touch here and there.
The typical national, and sometimes even regional, instruments used on this record, in addition to voice, include hardanger fiddle, langeleik (a zither- like instrument), microtonal mandolin and guitar, mouth harp and fiddle.
The performers have learned the music directly from traditional sources, but most of the material on this record has derived from the study of archive recordings from the Ryfylke Museum (in the city of Sand).
