Shine Dion 是在1993年成立的來自挪威第七大城市Skien(斯基恩)的二重唱組合,他們的音樂被認為是挪威和愛爾蘭民謠的結合體,在音樂中經常使用很多樂器:小提琴、風笛、薩克斯、曼陀林(類似中國的琵琶)、三角鐵、美樂特朗(電子琴) 、木吉他。其中 Janne Hansen(很溫暖的女聲)是主唱兼歌詞創作,Per Selor 則主作曲和吉他彈奏。他們的音樂結合了挪威和愛爾蘭的民歌曲調,歌曲的靈感通常都是來自挪威當地的神話,傳說及風土人情。他們的音樂成功實現了古典和現代的結合, 從中我們可以感受到田園般的寧靜,靈魂的脆弱,及時間的無涯。
Shine Dión is a Norwegian duo that started out in Skien in 1993. It consists of Janne Hansen: vocals and lyrics and Per Selör: composer and guitars.
The music can be described as a blend between Norwegian and Irish folk tunes, with hints of progressiv. Among the instruments they are using are: violin, flutes, saxophone, mandolin, percussions, mellotron, accoustic/el.guitars. The lyrics are inspired by mythology, fairy tales and the scenery of Norwegian landscapes.
Shine Dión creates a blend of the ancient and the modern, resulting in a pastoral, fragile and timeless atmosphere.
Shine Dión made their debut in 1994 with a 3-track CD called "Berkana". The CD-title was named after an old viking rune which symbolizes growth. "Berkana"was released on the Norwegian record company "Colours", as the first of their new folk label records.
