Papagøyene
Children ’ s songs to samba rhythms .
How does Troll Mother sing in South America ? Papagøyene ’ s repertoire consists of well-known children ’ s songs rearranged in the Brazilian and Caribbean spirit . The music is bursting with energy , with lots of rhythms , simple tunes , whistling , and funny instruments .
Percussionist and cultural mediator Asbjørn Sundal started the band in 2006 at the request of Bajazz and Bergen Jazzforum . The background was his love for world music , especially the music from Brazil , and a desire to take children seriously . According to the experienced musician you will not find a more critical audience than those who are less then three feet tall .
This free concert at Fløyen takes your head and your hips on a round trip of the world . Whistling , singing , and dancing are obligatory for both young and old .
‘ This was not a concert for those who enjoy peace and quiet . One had to dance , jump , laugh , and simply have fun .’ – AVISA HORDALAND

An atmospheric free concert at Fløyen by and with Morgonfrosken .
Morgonfrosken ( The Morning Frog ) sings songs about the big questions and topics like the universe , our thoughts , loneliness , and love , in the company of more immediate and concrete phenomena such as the elements , birds , and frogs . The music is inspired by Norwegian folk music , neatly mixed with American Old-time and British folk and pop music .
The lyrics , published in the book Når morgonfrosken syng ( When the morning frog sings ), are by Per Olav Kaldestad , and folk musician , singer , and composer Annlaug Børsheim has composed the music . She brings along banjo playing clarinettist Ingemund Askeland from Etne and fiddle player Mari Skeie Ljones from Lillehammer on Hardanger fiddle . Annlaug herself plays the guitar and the fiddle and sings . The group have toured for the ‘ Cultural Rucksack ’ and held a number of concerts for big and small at the Førde festival and Bajazz , among others . This autumn they released their sequel album Og fjøla blei en seglbåt og tanken blei en vind .
