Info for Slättar pä tunga

It's Saturday night in rural Norway. You want to hold a dance, but there's no band, not even a fiddler. What do you do? Ask a singer to sing the tunes for dancing. That's what Versto does--and does magnificently using the melodies themselves as springboards for folk improvisation. It's a demanding but glorious piece of work, as well as being an insight into a little piece of history. - highbeam
