Bio
Nordafjells was founded in 1999, and since then the band has changed both line-up and repertory. We like to preserve local traditions, but always bring something new to traditional tunes. Our goal is that the music should be exciting to listen to, but at the same time one should feel like dancing. We released our first CD - "general" - in 2005. For this CD we won one of the prices in Norwegian folk music awards. We were also nominated in Norwegian music awards. Now we mostly play music composed by Andreas Bjørkås. He's composing folk-inspired music, but has clear influences from rock, pop and classical. But we also play traditional tunes, both dancing tunes and listening tunes. Nordafjells has participated in several festivals and competitions. Here are some of them: KVARTS-festivalen 2003 (winner of KVARTS price) Landsfestivalen 2003 (bronze medal) Landsfestivalen 2004 (silver medal) Landsfestivalen 2005 (silver medal) Landsfestivalen 2006 (silver medal) Landsfestivalen 2007 (gold medal) Folkelarm 2005-2007 Landskappleiken 2008 (gold medal in open class) Dansefestivalen Førde international folk music festival (2005 and 2008) EBU international folk music festival in Moscow 2008 .... ...... .. .. .. ............Myspace Layouts.... - ....Music/Musicians Myspace Layouts...... ....Myspace Codes.... - ....Myspace Generators.... - ....Myspace Backgrounds.... .. ....
