Lilja

The music is inspired by travels where Oddrun Lilja has collaborated with local traditional musicians from all over the world.

During her travels, Lilja has played with raga musicians in India, gnawa musicians in Morocco, circus artists in Ethiopia and Palestinians in a refugee camp in Lebanon. With inspiration from these meetings, she has composed new music, where the songs are named after ten of the cities she has visited.

Oddrun Lilja, known as guitarist in Bugge Wesseltoft's "New Conception of Jazz", Frode Haltli's "Avant folk" and "Moksha", has released her debut album in his own name: "LILJA: Marble". The album received a dice roll of 6 in Dagsavisen, and was the list of this year's best Norwegian album in Klassekampen's music magazine in 2020. The album was also nominated for this year's release in Subjekt, which claims that "Marble" is an album that will remain in Norwegian jazz history.
