HABA HABA! – Lillebjørn Nilsen

Classics for children from Lillebjørn Nilsen

Haba Haba! is a playful release of children´s music with plenty of highlights, full of infectious energy. This was the disc that really made Nilsen known among a younger audience. Most of the songs are traditional tunes to which he has put text, inspired by riddles and rhymes from the time he grew up. Particularly well known is the title track "Haba Haba", written by Nilsen himself, who has become a classic for several generations of Norwegian children (and adults). On Haba Haba!, a cheerful Nilsen, performs in unison with a group of enthusiastic children different children’s songs. He makes it clear that he masters the challenging art of singing, playing and composing for children. Lillebjørn Nilsen´s beloved album for children is a re-release of … og Fia hadde sko! which was very popular when it came out in 1974.
