Bra Kast! – Geitungen

An original approach to the tradition of Rogaland.

The group Geitungen presents music from their home area: tunes from Bjerkreim, Suldal, Jelsa and Karmøy, presented with an original approach of rytmical, catchy arrangements. Though the arrangements might not be as their sources played them, the group portrays a strong foothold in the tradition from Rogaland.

This is the second of three releases by the trendsetting trio from Rogaland. Their ability to be true to the core music at the same time as being truly original has made tunes from this record classics on the norwegian folk music jam scene.
“Bra kast” contains waltz, reinlender, hopsar (the local version of “polka”), halling and springar: the most common tune types in Rogaland. Some original tunes are also to be found, as well as a wedding tune. Produced by Vergar Vårdal, also acting as a refreshing guest artist on a few tracks.
