The Oslo-based Norwegian folk music group Feleboga's repertoire includes different genres of traditional tunes, from the older, intricate listening pieces (lyderlåter) and dance tunes (slåtter) for solo hardingfele, to the newer gammeldans tunes(waltz, reinlender, polka) for hardingfele or violins and guitar.
Hans-Hinrich Thedens (hardingfele, fiddle, guitar, song, dance) received his doctoral degree in ethnomusicology from the University of Oslo, writing his dissertation about hardingfele spelemann Salve Austenå and his repertoire. He is the director of the Norwegian Folk Music Collection at the University of Oslo and is involved in several research projects. Hans-Hinrich has performed as a dancer and hardingfele player and has served as the president of Telemark dance club in Oslo. He was a member of Chateau Neuf Spelemannslag, a large ensemble pioneering contemporary arrangements of Norwegian folk music.
Elizabeth Gaver (hardingfele, fiddle, dance) plays early stringed instruments and has performed and recorded extensively with the medieval ensemble, Sequentia (Paris). She is also a member of Ulv, Pro Musica Antiqua, Oslo, and Modus and has performed with several baroque ensembles. Elizabeth often plays for the Telemark Dance Club in Oslo and at the Norwegian Folk Museum, as well as for childrens´dance classes. She teaches violin and directs the Solveien Spelemannslag at the Nordstrand Steiner School where Mattias has just completed the sixth grade.
Mattias Thedens (dance, fiddle) is the youngest member of Feleboga and has contributed dance to the group's performances since he was six. He has danced Norwegian traditional dance since age four and has performed the men's solo dance Halling for many years, taking classes from and dancing with some of Norway's best dancers. Lately he has also danced several of the older Norwegian couple dances from Røros, Telemark and Hallingdal and has taken up the folk violin.
Feleboga has performed and taught in Norway, Germany, Poland, Iceland, Thailand, and the US (Minnesota, Indiana, New York, Washington D.C.)
Feleboga has recorded a CD, Snikkarvalsen, together with their fiddle mentor Salve Austenå, of gammaldans repertoire from Tovdal.
