Tindra

Norwegian female trio Tindra carries out songs and tunes through a fine interaction that involves vocals, fiddles and accordion. The music is by far based on ancient Norwegian folk tunes passed on through generations or found in folk music archives.  However, Tindra also compose music, hence making contemporary folk music with catchy arrangements and distinctive sounds.

Tindra’s music shifts between being soft and tender in one minute, suddenly changing to a rough and energetic state in the next. The lyrics, for those who know Norwegian, offer a flight of the imagination into a world of cats in new shoes, blue goats and men with bad luck in love.

As well as extensive touring in Norway the group has done concerts and tours in Vietnam, India, Georgia og Sudan. Ever since the start in 2000 the trio has received great reviews both for concerts and albums. The debut album Lukkeleg vaking (Happily awake) was launched in 2006 and Den kvite hjorten (The white deer) came in 2009. Currently Tindra is working on a third CD that will be released in 2011.
