Sinika Langeland - Wolf Rune [CD]

The solo album "Wolf Rune" sheds new light on the highly personal nature of the work of Sinikka Langeland, a cantelist and singer from the village of Finnskogen, Norway's "Finnish forest". Sinikka integrates her own songs with folk hymns, shamanic runic chants and traditional dance pieces, draws lyrics from many poetic sources and expands the expressive range of her instruments. Few artists embody the spirit of place as comprehensively as Langeland, and her music is permeated with content about the wildness of the natural world and the interconnectedness of its inhabitants.
Recorded in December 2019 at Rainbow Studio in Oslo, Wolf Rune is a major addition to Sinikka's discography in the ECM catalogue, which already includes critically acclaimed projects such as Starflowers, The Land That Is Not, Maria's Song, The Half-Finished Heaven and The Magical Forest.
