Partially for the spirit of the season, and partially because I can I wanted to make a holiday card with added music. So a happy holiday to everyone who has a holiday, and warm greetings to the rest of you as well.
Misa Criolla - Kyrie, Viadala – BagualaThis is a hauntingly beautiful song from Latin- America. I think it is a Christmas song, but due to lack of Spanish I cannot tell. Regardless this song gives me chills. Spare guitars, a dominant voice and a rhythm like a heartbeat.
Skruk & Rim Banna: Mitt hjerte alltid vanker This is an old, traditional Scandinavian song. This time performed with a twist. The Palestinian artist Rim Banna has translated parts of the lyrics and help produce the song. The result is a rich and wonderful blend of a truly lovely song.
And if you are wondering what a more traditional version sounds like there is :
Aasne Valland Nordli : Mitt hjerte alltid vanker
