Japansk Kirsebærtre

Havnatt celebrates the arrival of spring

The moods of the Norwegian and Japanese spring come together in this single from Havnatt.

The title of the track translates directly to "Japanese Cherry Tree" - referring to the very well known Japanese sakura, famous for its beautiful, short-lived flowers. Tom Simonsen's characteristic guitar playing and Cecilie Langlie's beautiful voice are accompanied by the koto on this track - a first for the neofolk duo - creating a rather unique Scandinavia-meets-Japan kind of a sound.

Musicians

Cecilie Langlie: Vocals. Tom Simonsen: Various guitars, ukulele and bass. Wagakki Hikeru: 21-string koto.
