Leif Ingvar Ranøien: accordion

Born:1983
From: Røros

Leif Ingvar is not like other accordionists. Instead of cultivating the traditional two-rowed accordionmusic, he has the Norwegian fiddlemusic as his idol. This gives him a special and personal sound. The music from the Røros district lies closest to his heart, but the music from Setesdal, Hallingdal and other places are also on his repertoire. In SVER Leif Ingvar pushes the boundaries of what is possible to do on a two-rowaccordion with breathtaking duck race and funky melodybass. He is also fanatical concerned with the music to groove! Leif Ingvar is a well educated gentleman with, among other things, a masterdegree of folk music. He works as a musicteatcher and as a freelance musician with several project.
