Hjemve (Heilo / Grappa Musikkforlag) is the first album from talented vocalist Synnøve Brøndbo Plassen. The a cappella recording highlights the remarkable traditions of vocal folk music from her small hometown Folldal in the region of Østerdalen in eastern Norway.
The title of the album Hjemve is a Norwegian word for homesickness. Synnøve researched archive recordings, scores, and oral transmission, and collected numerous tunes from the region. Award-winning folk musician and composer Gjermund Larsen produced this superb debut album.
