Arna is a suburb of Bergen, Norway. Around 16,000 inhabitants live in this rural suburb. As it is situated behind mount Ulriken, Arna is geographically close to downtown Bergen, but it takes some time to drive there by road as there is no road tunnel as yet. However, a train journey from Arna to Bergen only takes eight minutes.
Arna's parents emigrated from Norway in the 1950s, imparting to her their world of music and culture.
Arna's early training in Norwegian folk singing came from her parents, who emigrated from Norway in the early 1950's.
In the United States, unaccompanied singing is not as common as in Norway, and Norwegian singing is both a little startling and refreshing, because it is sung in free rhythm.
