a-ha

Straight out of the cold of Oslo, the three elongated Norwegian silhouettes display a warm-coloured New Wave. It's obvious: the a-ha phenomenon will always conquer icy atmospheres.

In the parallel world of a-ha, a paranormal phenomenon from the north, the Northern Lights never go out. The years go by, the crowd remains. Far from the walkmans of the old days, Morten Harket's band, still acclaimed by a community of tireless fans, exceed expectations at each appearance. Joyful, popular, romantic: qualifiers do not miss to describe the music of these three inseparable people, who are unconditional lovers of David Bowie, Joy Division and Queen. In permanent conquest, like Vikings in the turbulent waters of the New Wave, a-ha still shoots off, three decades after the breakthrough of Take On Me, its unifying hits all over the world. 

Even today, in the concert halls and on the dancefloors of Europe, the effect is immediate: the public has forgotten nothing, neither the lyrics, nor the flights of the synthesizers of the old days, nor their first kisses at the disco. Because, without batting an eye, a-ha, splitting up and re- forming as time goes on, resurrects good memories. It’s obvious: from Oslo to Rio de Janeiro, where they gathered a human tide never seen before at the Maracanã, in 1991, the three wonders of Scandinavia continue to inspire and captivate the hearts of an entire generation.
