Helene Boksle

Helene Bøksle (born in Frydnes/Mandal on the Southern coast of Norway) is one of the leading singers in Norway. Her music is inspired by tradtional folk music, and her debut album ”Elverhøy” received rave reviews when released in 2006. On her second album ”Morild” (2009) she colaborated with the Scandinavian folk-band, Baltic Crossing. Her biggest selling album was released the same year – ”Det hev ei rose sprunge” – a Christmas-album, which was recorded in Lommedalen Church in Oslo. This album became an instant hit, and was described as ”probably the best Christmas-album ever”.
