Rebekka Bakken | Jazzfestival Freiburg

Norway's phenomenal voice! When Rebekka Bakken sings, you know very quickly that you are listening to one of Scandinavia's most impressive voices. This woman is simply a vocal sensation! Far removed from all genre boundaries, the singer/songwriter has outgrown all pigeonholes and allows stylistic influences from all corners, be it the folklore of her homeland or country & western from the distant USA. She pays tribute to Tom Waits and Ludwig Hirsch with cover versions. Many of her compositions carry her own biography within them, and together with her announcements, this creates a picture of a highly emotional woman who is able to pour out all the facets of her soul to the audience in the highest art of singing.
