Facing the ferocious Barent Sea – practically with an uninterrupted view to the North Pole – lies the small fishing village of Berlevåg. This is the place made world famous by Isak Dinesen as the setting for her novelletta Babette’s Feast. Now Berlevåg is making a second bid for international fame – through the 30-odd members of its very exotic and colourful male choir! For those who loved Buena Vista Social Club – this is the Norwegian answer.
