Hanne Tveter - Cruxando Fronteraz (eng) RSS

Hanne Tveters groundbreaking new concept album "CruXando Fronteraz / Crossing Borders" represents a musical journey of exotic rhythms, lust for life, Spanish temper and gloomy melancholy. This recently released double album features one CD filled with traditional Spanish and Latin American folk music, and a second one containing her Norwegian interpretations of these songs as well as a few specially selected Norwegian folk songs. It's an inspirational album that truly lives up to its name, and with it Hanne proves that there's simply no such thing as musical borders.
