Alde – Benedicte Maurseth

Norway’s Gangar brings a fresh take on Nordic roots music. The young, five-piece ensemble digs deep into Norway’s extensive folk music archives to come up with rare traditional tunes. — and give them new, modern arrangements influenced by rock, folk-metal, and jazz improvisation. Inspired by such artists as Hoven Droven, Meshuggah, and AC/DC, Gangar’s Gangar’s sound is driven by the unique sound of Norway’s Hardanger fiddle, and their mission is to bring traditional Norwegian melodies to a wider audience.
