Frida Amundsen and Taranteeno are two artists based in Frida’s hometown of Vaksdal. They have long made music both for Frida’s own artist project and for other songwriters, but this is the first time they take the stage together as artists!
Now they invite you to a pleasant evening featuring three cultures: Norwegian, Italian and Australian. There will not only be Christmas songs, but also well-known pop songs and original songs they have been part of. It will be everything from beautiful to humorous and unpretentious - in other words, not just a Christmas show!
Frida Amundsen is known for the songs Closer and Rush, which did very well on the radio. After a longer break she has returned to the artist life, but this time in Norwegian. Over the last three years her translations of well-known English songs have been heard on social media, in addition to original songs such as Spor and Hjem Igjen, which have both been A-listed on P1. She released a Christmas EP in 2025 and is ready with a new Norwegian album in spring 2027.
Taranteeno was born in Australia to Sicilian parents. He started performing as early as age 7 and proved to be a born entertainer. After several years in London, where he wrote songs for artists in the EDM and pop world such as Galantis, Afrojack and Teddy Swims, he has now settled in little Vaksdal together with Frida. He has worked and released songs as both songwriter and artist with several Norwegian artists such as Freddy Kalas, Broiler, Matoma and Skaar.
