Rita Engedalen

Rita Engedalen is a blues artist from Norway. Her 2 CD releases, Here my song (2004) and Heaven ain’t ready for me yet (2006) are both albums which demonstrate Rita’s unique talent in a wide range. Rita’s influences are mostly American folk music from districts and areas not very familiar to the mainstream audiences. Dusty roads, back and forth from the Appalachian Mountains to the Mississippi Delta are areas she travels musically. Her intense nerve, her strong and rich voice mixed with deeply rooted soul form her personal musical expression. Many songs rooted in Rita’s musical landscape are often formed upon a simple, repetitive chord progression with intensely felt emotions and the raw power of trance. Making songs in these musical terms is for Rita very natural; she’s actually a natural born master. Read more on Last.fm.
