Annbjørg Lien

Annbjørg Lien is a renowned Norwegian musician celebrated for her virtuosic skills on the Hardanger fiddle, an instrument central to Norwegian folk music. Born in Kristiansand on October 15, 1971, she showcased prodigious talent at a young age, winning her first of several national fiddle competitions when she was just 16. Throughout her career, Lien has carried the rich traditions of her homeland to global stages, seamlessly blending them with contemporary and international influences to create a sound uniquely her own.

With a discography that is as diverse as it is acclaimed, Lien draws upon both the deeply rooted music of her native Norway and the rhythms and harmonies from cultures far beyond its borders. Albums like "Khoom Loy" (2012), which translates to "Sky Lanterns," reflect her willingness to experiment with sounds and instruments from other genres and traditions, infusing her work with a sense of exploration and boundary-pushing innovation. Her more recent releases, such as the resonant "Drifting Like a Bird" (2019), exhibit a mature and lyrical approach to composition, illustrating her ongoing passion for storytelling through music. Lien's ability to defy genres while upholding Norwegian folk traditions has earned her not only a dedicated following but also numerous awards and international recognition.
