New Nordic Bossa Nova

Since the summer of 2020, Cecilie Rowedder and Kim Sagild have been working on recording some original titles written by Kim Sagild, inspired by the early bossanova's both subdued and complex compositional expression and puritanical production form.

Their interest in and joy of exploring the dynamic field between Latin American music and text culture, dance, outdoor life, temperament, and Catholicism is juxtaposed to the more Nordic cool, perhaps introverted, disciplined, and Protestant. And then, most importantly, the common denominator – melancholy.

This has been the driving force behind what one might boldly call a new Nordic bossa nova.

English (Kim herself is half-American) is the language of choice for the lyrics, which could be characterized by themes of faith, hope, love and doubt or sorrow, joy, and more.

In addition to the artistic motivation, the differences in gender, age, and experience also influenced the project's character and profile.

The debut album BossaBlue was released on the occasion of Kim Sagild's 70th birthday on February 4, 2022.
