VARIOUS ARTISTS
Kvenskfinsk Tradisjon i Norge
Etnisk Musikklubb EM59 (2012)

For centuries there have been Finnish communities in northern Norway. Those from eastern Finland were known as Kvens. At home and work they sang Finnish songs. To preserve now fading memory this double CD has 40 tracks of domestic singing recorded, at variable quality, since 1980.
