In reply to Julien Prémont. I have heard OF Razika, but I don't think I've actually got around to listening to them yet! So much music, so little time...

In reply to Isnoty. Kaizers are on my list to write about - coming soon! I'll check out CC Cowboys, thanks!

In reply to Ethan. It's pretty simple stuff really! From Wikipedia - "The band's lyrics are mostly about partying and nightlife, reflecting partly Jokke og Raga Rockers, but in a contemporary style of the 2010s."

Hi, great article and good music too!

Just a quick question; do you know what Oslo Ess sings about in their songs? And are there any other kinds of music that Norwegians generally listen to or like?

Kaizers Orchestra seems to do well outside Norway even though they sing in norwegian. Well, it’s a odd dialect in Norway they use, even most norwegians don’t know what the heck they are singing :p

CC Cowboys may also me something to check out? Search for “Kom igjen” on YouTube!

You probably know Razika too, right? All-girl ska-pop band. They’re from Bergen and sing about 50-50 in English and Norwegian. I’m not sure if they have some kind of foreign or west coast accent, or if it’s just the slower tempo in their songs, but I find their Norwegian… let’s say approachable, for Norwegian-learners.
