MOJNA

With elements of improvisation and voicing based on counterpoint techniques, MOJNA has developed an original and unique sound. This Swedish/Norwegian trio performs newly composed, inventive Nordic folk on guitar, Hardanger fiddle, and clarinet/bass clarinet.

In 2022 they released their debut album "För Sola Skin' På Tak” which received widespread critical acclaim and earned them the title of "Instrumental Band of the Year" by Lira Music Magazine. The album was also nominated for awards at the Swedish “Manifestgalan” and the Folk & World Music Gala 2023.
Their second album “Väntenätter” was recently released, June 14th 2024, and received “dice throw 6” (6 out of 6) by NRK (Norwegian Broadcasting Corporation).

“The band has grown during their three years together, creating an inviting, mellow sound as the instruments weave knowingly around each other in rich tapestries and delicate, chamber-like shimmering textures”

“…it’s an album of beauty and imagination”
