Description

"The bright day" captures a day in the life of the Osterdalen summer farm. It weaves together traditional vocal music that is intimately tied to this pastoral setting. This melodic tapestry encompasses kettle calls, dance tunes, lullabies, children's ditties, and psalms. Every "budeie" had her own songs and calls that belonged to her own animals. Evenings might invite outdoor dances, while morning psalms harmonize with the chorus of birds heralding the new day. Within this realm, mythical guardians keep watch over the creatures during the night's slumber, their narratives reverberating through the threads of traditional music.
Today, I carry these melodies within me as a young folk singer, aiming to sustain their vibrancy within contemporary society. The album is structured to mirror the progression of a day on the summer farm, from the first light of dawn to the depths of night.
Synnove Brondbo Plassen has in short time become one of the most wanted young folk musicians in Norway. She is from Folldal in Osterdalen, where she was raised in an environment where folk music seamlessly intertwined with daily life. In 2021, she unveiled her debut album, "Hjemve," which not only earned her the prestigious Folkelarm Prize but also secured a Norwegian Grammy nomination. Possessing a master's degree, she currently resides in Oslo, Norway, where she cultivates her career as a professional folksinger.
