NORRDA
****************************************************************
Norrda takes their name from the Swedish word “nor”, meaning “north”. The band’s first album “Infinite Face”, released in Turkey by a local label called “Akkiraz Muzik”, combines a melancholic female vocal with an eastern flavor of ethnic percussions and guitars carried by the northern breeze. The fusion in Norrda’s music is shaped by the musical backgrounds of the characters that create the band. Hakan Vreskala, one of the group members, lives in Sweden.

NORRDA
Le nom Norrda vient du mot suédois “nor” qui signifie le nord. Le premier album du groupe “Infinite Face” qui a été publié en Turquie par le label local Akkiraz Müzik était le mélange entre une voix féminine mélancolique, des percussions ethniques orientales et des guitares froides du nord. Cette fusion musicale de Norrda est due aux passés différents de chacun de ses membres. Un des membres du groupe, Hakan Vreskala vit en Suède.
