Culture Break: Annbjørg Lien, "Loki"

Annbjørg Lien does some very interesting music, sort of spanning Nordic traditional and not-so-traditional. She's also one of the String Sisters, who I featured here. That instrument she's playing is a nyckelharpa, which gives some fascinating sounds: it's basically a fiddle with an extra set of drone strings, and is keyed, not fingered.

This song appears on the album Aliens Alive, which might give you some idea of her approach.
