LITANGEN
LITANGEN (Kjell Harald Litangen) – Born in Skudeneshavn on Karmøy, along Norway’s rugged west coast, Kjell Harald Litangen has long been recognized as one of the country’s most in-demand session guitarists. Over the years, he has shared the stage and studio with renowned artists including Maria Mena, Rebekka Bakken, Ole Edvard Antonsen, LidoLido, and the legendary Al Jarreau. His performances have also reached international audiences through appearances on major broadcasts such as The Late Show with David Letterman, Skavlan, and The Nobel Peace Prize Concert.
In 2020, Litangen stepped into the spotlight with his first solo project, recorded in his home studio outside Oslo during the COVID-19 lockdown. Driven by a desire for musical freedom, he released Diversions, a collection of 12 original compositions—instrumental works for guitar and various stringed instruments , drawing on a wide palette of musical influences
His follow-up album, A Fine Line (2021), further expanded his artistic vision, featuring guest appearances by Ole Edvard Antonsen, Torstein Lofthus, and others.

"The songs are quite diverse , but they all have in common that they are very evocative and beautiful. LITANGEN has found a core that is real ,sincere and obviously him. He has no need to show us how good he is in technical terms - he has a need to show us who he are, and that is definitely what he does " 5/6 Tor Hammerø, Nettavisen -Norway
