Hekla Stålstrenga

Båtbygger Jo

This song from the band Hekla Stålstrenga is about Joe the boatbuilder. Joe builds the most fabulous boats, but has a deal with the devil that every seventh boat is going to him.

Norwegian band Hekla Stålstrenga started as a duo in 2005. Since then, they have extended to a quintet and have released eight record albums. Five of these have been nominated to 'Spellemannsprisen', the Norwegian equivalent to Grammy.

In this arrangement watch the articulation and give the song the slow groove it needs.
