Unfortunately I stepped on the red carpet to the Norwegian Crown Prince tonight. That wasn’t very popular amongst the police. But as you can see in the photo, we were quite a crowd at the opera house in Oslo, and I believe showing our support for the people of Haiti was more important than royal carpets this time.
Lots of artists contributed to this evening called “Dugnad for Haiti”. The act I enjoyed the most was when Ingrid Olava, Thom Hell and Lars-Lillo Stenberg sang Beatles’ song Because. My Mom “discovered” the great sound of the band Minor Majority, and the voice of Noora Noor, which is fantastic. If you’re into soul music, anyway.
For me both Thom Hell and Minor Majority are the sound of fall 2004 when I just moved to Bergen to study – and Bergen broke all records when it comes to rainy weather. I handled the rain by staying indoors listening to nice music. Thom Hell’s album “I love you” is definitely lovable, and I just have to list some of the songs from this album, because I want to share those amazingly beautiful pop tunes (links to Spotify): Mourning Sun, So You’re Leaving, Tired , Some guy, Why Do I Feel
But back to the victims in Haiti – call 820 44 001 to give 200 NOK to the Norwegian Red Cross, or use this account number: 8200.06.08331. Or choose another help organization from this list.
