BLÅ BALLER
Her Er Vi - Og Her Er Verdens Navle
Center for Folkekultur, Skælskør - no number (1997)
Songs, an interesting and eclectic range of styles and subjects, written by
veteran Benny E.Anderson, who plays piano and accordion in ingenious
arrangements using a variety of instrumentation, but doesn’t sing, leaving that
mainly to the versatile and impressive Maj-Britt Mogensen. Draws on some folk
shapes and textures, but also European song traditions; a mature, quirkily
intelligent Danish music, both reminiscent and new.
