Villrot
villrot.no
- is a Norwegian band doing their kind of music since 1999.
This music is inspired from old Norwegian folkmusic mixed with new creations and improvising.
The members of the group have been studying and performing traditional music as well as blues, rock, jazz, and been working in different groups and bands since 80´s, some times together.
Villrot uses some old historical instruments in the performances, as hardingfiddle, hurdygurdy, jawharp, nordic bagpipe and keyfiddles. The songs are in norwegian, some are lullabyes, old ballads and even some joik. Loedoelja is a river in the mountains by the Trondheimsfjord, and the song is dedicated to the protection of this nature area, against the electrisity company who wants to build a dam. Norway is almost the only country left in Europe where you still find nature unspoiled.
