The river gives and takes

“Elva” is an incredibly important performance that shows a brutal truth in a beautiful way. I hope “Elva” never stops playing.

A big sigh 

In an attempt to dig up the painful and the awkward in Alf Pøysen's lesser-known stump songs and songs, there is little room for the humor and the oblique view that makes Prøysen so unique.

Thought-provoking

Mura gave me an impression of war and what it was like in the past. I thought it would be boring, but it wasn't.
