• Rolf K. Seldal is a highly regarded Norwegian Folk Drummer and Ethnomusicologist. On this fascinating album he plays traditional drums, lure, Ram's Horn, Bugle, Jew\'s Harp, and Langeleik.
• He is joined by Laila Kolve, on sea flute and willow flute; and by Lajla Renate Buer Storli, playing Hardanger fiddle.
• The Norwegian folk drumming tradition is over 500 years old - starting as a military instrument and later used in weddings, dances and other ceremonial events. The main musical idea is to produce a drone (tremolo) under the main rhythmic theme.
• This technique is also found in other Norwegian folk instruments such as the Hardanger fiddle, the mouth harp, and the ‘langeleik’, which is a dulcimer or zither type instrument.
