Sagene Ring is an urban folk trio that writes music based on real-world events. A true story is found in each song, and this album tells the stories of the refugees who travel across the Mediterranean, trying to build a new life in Europe and Norway. For Sagene Ring, music is an important tool that can be used to convey relevant issues of today, which on this album deals with the refugee crisis.<\/p>\n

Real stories<\/b><\/p>\n
Erik Fosse has written all the songs which are based on his own experiences from working as a doctor with refugees in several countries, especially in the Middle East. The songs are written with respect and admiration for the people who had to give up their life in the place they grew up and started a new life in a foreign culture. They risk a lot to create a future for themselves and their family. Many of them also risk their life.<\/p>\n
The songs are based on individuals’ own stories and interviews in different media. Many of these interviews are found in TV shows produced by the Norwegian Broadcasting Corporation (NRK), who made multiple programs concerning people on the run. The lyrics of \u00abLeo g\u00e5r i trappen\u00bb, \u00abKostas Pinteris\u00bb, \u00abSambujang\u00bb, \u00abSj\u00e5f\u00f8ren\u00bb, \u00abForbudte dr\u00f8mmer\u00bb and \u00abHjemme er der hvor du er trygg\u00bb are based on the TV show “Flukt” from 2017, hosted by Leo Ajkic. Likewise, the lyrics of \u00abTrandum\u00bb are based on the TV program \u00abHelene sjekker inn\u00bb, shown on NRK in 2017. This concerns Trandum Camp, a Norwegian institution intended for asylum seekers who have had their applications rejected. The lyrics of \u00abAuberginer og Squash\u00bb are based on interviews and stories in the Program \u00abCeuta i Marokko\u00bb from the TV show \u00abMediterranean\u00bb, produced by BBC and shown on NRK in 2019 with Simon Reeve as a host. The lyrics of \u00abDe kom inn i rommet med skoene p\u00e5\u00bb are based on a repost in Lofotposten in 2019 about Ahmad Charafeddine and his family.<\/p>\n
