Susanne Merethe Lundeng (born 18 August 1969 in Bodø, Norway) is a Norwegian traditional folk musician (fiddle) and composer.
Lundeng had Arvid EngegÃÂ¥rd as violin teacher and is a prominent practitioner of north Norwegian folk music. She has collaborated with Halvdan Sivertsen and later Sinikka Langeland (2005), among others. In the Midnight Sun Trio she collaborates with Knut Erik Sundquist (bass) and Arvid EngegÃÂ¥rd (violin). Within S.L. Band she collaborated with Bjørn Andor Drage (piano), HÃÂ¥var Bendiksen (guitar and accordion), Trond-Viggo SolÃÂ¥s (bass) and Arnfinn Bergrabb (percussion). Lundeng got in contact with old fiddlers in Salten, Lofoten at an early stage and she has undoubtedly contributed to the preservation of the Nordland traditional folk heritage.
Initially, Lunden was primarily a promoter of traditional folk music from Nordland, but over the years, she has shifted more towards performing the music she composes herself. However, the core of Nordland folk music remains in most of her compositions. At the same time, she draws inspiration from jazz, contemporary music, and folk traditions from other countries.
