Leagus feat. Nordnorsk Jazzensemble

Here we see LEAGUS perform parts of the work “Flora Eallin'' together with Nordnorsk Jazzensemble. Flora (plants), and “Eallin” means life in Sami language - the work is an ode to bushes and trees, seaweed and kelp, soil and moss. We get to join a musical journey that thematizes the importance of plant life for us human beings.

SUSANNE LUNDENG is one of Norway’s most highly regarded folk musicians. Renowned music film director Thor Brenne followed Susanne with her band on tour around spectacular Northern Norway. This is an excerpt from the upcoming short music documentary where we get some intriguing retrospectives and how Susanne through her interplay with jazz musicians finds new musical paths.
