• Unni Boksasp is a traditional folk singer from the North-west coast of Norway. She has her scholastic training from The Royal College of Music in Stockholm and the Faculty of Art and Folk Culture at the Telemark University College. Besides that she has studied with several of the most influential performers of the tradition. She now lives in Telemark in the southern part of Norway and works as a full-time vocal musician.
• On this album she interprets the traditional folk songs of Magnhild Almhjell - singer and song-collector from the early part of the 20th century, and one of the most important sources of old song styles in Norway.
• The songs were traditionally sung a capella, but Unni Boksasp has tried to carefully adopt them into an ensemble format, both in order to give them a personal signature and as an effort to give them more of a contemporary relevance.
• At the end of January 2010, she will be appearing at a Norwegian concert in London and at Showcase Scotland as part of Celtic Connections in Glasgow.
