These songs are from the rich legacy of the Norwegian
folksinger Margit Finnekåsa (1904 – 1989), recorded
by Knut Buen. Maria was introduced to Margit’s recordings
in 1999: ”I was overwhelmed by Margit’s voice and expression,
and I felt deeply at home with the lyrics and music of the
songs. Margit’s way of singing made a deep impression on me
and made me want to turn the songs into my own.” At last,
after eight long years, she finally managed to record her
interpretations of Margit’s songs together with Olof Misgeld,
violin and Olle Lindvall, guitar. Maria has translated and
arranged the lyrics in Swedish, and she has written a few
more verses to some of the songs.
”Many years have passed since Margit learnt the songs from her
godmother ande her father, but it seems that nothing has really
changed – man’s yearning for love remains as strong today, both
in the songs and in real life. For having the honor to sing these
songs I humbly express my gratitude and joy, and I can’t help but
wonder who will sing them a hundred years from now. He who lives
will see…!”
