TYPISK NORSK – Gitarkameratene

Classics from Gitarkameratene

Typisk norsk was Gitarkameratene´s second album release and contained a number of new songs that quickly became Norwegian classics. The release was a huge success with over 70 000 copies sold and the super group was awarded the Norwegian Grammy (Spellemannprisen) for best singer/songwriter album. Typisk norsk features twelve hits written by the four guitar buddies. Several of these have become important in the repertoire of the four artists’ solo performances, such as "Ryktet forteller" (Jan Eggum), "Anna på Gran Canaria" (Lillebjørn Nilsen), "Venner" (Halvdan Sivertsen) and "Gammal Amazon" (Øystein Sunde). The album managed to convey the same enthusiasm and spontaneity among the artists that was so clearly present during their concert performances. The same year, Gitarkameratene toured all over Norway, playing for full set houses, including 24 sold-out performances at the Dizzie Showteater in Oslo!
