Following it I found that Sofia is currently touring in Germany, and has two concerts not too far from my home on Friday and Saturday. She now even lives permanently in Berlin. So I went to the old city of Tuebingen yesterday evening to meet her, listen to the music and chat a bit with her in the break. She sang this song a capella which his defintely her strength. Swedish is a tonal language, which has an inherent melody, like Chinese, though this melody does not influence the meaning of the words (unlike in Chinese). I guess this EP will be beautiful indeed. I also took some pictures http://www.ectophil.de/2014_02_07_Sofia_Talvik/album/index.html Henning - ----- Original Message ----- From: "Karen Hester" To: Sent: Tuesday, February 04, 2014 7:16 PM Subject: Folk from Sofia Talvik > *You can listen to Uit var hage, and it is lovely. * > > *http://music.sofiatalvik.com/album/folk > * > *"A six track special.
