Barslev, Nanna
Lysbaerer
Debut solo album from the renowned Nordic folk artist and composer Nanna Barslev from Denmark. 'Lysbaerer' is the outcome of Nanna's solid experience in the Nordic atmospheric/dark folk genre since the early 1990's and she is known as the front woman in Huldre, Asynje, Gny and Ættir. Nanna performs not only as a singer, she is also instrumentalist on a collection of various traditional Nordic instruments such as moraharpa, tagelharpa, Islandsk langspil, bodhran drum and flute. On 'Lysbaerer', Nanna invites the listener to a hidden world between dark and light in nature and human nature, from misty underworld roots to ancient mountain calls, from scenic battle fields to meditative healing spells, with protection spells and words from the Edda. tha album features guest appearances by the Dutch musician Lies Sommer (Ball Noir) on the hurdy gurdy and harp.
