Norwegians seek A-ha! moment in North Korean music (AP)

 

In this frame grab from a December 2011 video provided by Morten Traavik of the Barents Spektakel festival, North Korean accordion players perform 'Take on Me,' by A-ha, in Pyongyang, North Korea. Organizers of the Barents Spektakel festival said the five North Korean accordion players provided the soundtrack Saturday, Feb. 11, 2012, as 250 Norwegian border guards formed a human canvas by holding up colored cards in shifting patterns — a tradition in the reclusive communist country. (AP Photo/Barents Spektakel, Morten Traavik)AP - An arts festival in northern Norway is offering a rare glimpse into North Korean culture this weekend, including performances by musicians whose accordion version of A-ha's megahit "Take on Me" has become an online sensation.
