LIV - Hage

The second release from the band LIV takes them in a more commercial direction with the renown Sami vocalist Mari Boine joining in on three tracks. 'Hage' was produced from a place of abundance and expansion, again combining the best of central European and the High North musical flairs and colors.

As in 'Kemedu' - LIV's first album (LOS1412), 'Hage' also refuses to be labeled in any particular style or tradition, but insists iin each song its right to define and unfold in its own innate logic and sense. Even so, traces of jazz, pop, ethno, punk, soul, and not at least Sami yoik, (delivered in the most delicate and wonderful way through the internationally acclaimed and renowned Sami artist Mari Boine), are all present. Layered and fused together in a rich sound-template by the experienced producer Andreas Mj�s (known from a.o. Jaga Jazzizt).

Personnel: Liv Hanne Haugen, Mari Boine (vocals), �ystein Blix (trombone), Thierry Girault (piano, synth), Alain Kawczak (guitar)
