Annbjørg Lien (born October 15, 1971 in Ålesund) is a folk and world music musician from Norway.
Annbjørg plays the ‘hardingfele’ (Hardanger fiddle), violin, and nyckelharpa.
Annbjørg Lien explores a broad range of traditions with true professionalism and playfulness. From her roots in Northern music she invites us on a sensitive and sparkling odyssey through a wide set of moods and styles. Annbjørg once again shows that she is one of Norway”s most innovative artists, combining new and traditional instruments and soundscapes.
Hopefully you remember the Hardanger fiddle from an earlier post about the amazing Valkyrien Allstars.
It is a beautiful instrument, in addition Annbjørg has a wonderful voice.
Check out some music from her most recent album, Khoom Loy.
