About this Item

Title

  • Spælimenninir: Folk Music from Scandinavia

Summary

  • Spælimenninir's music is as familiar as an old time barn dance and as exotic as the landscape of the Faroe Islands, the band's home in the North Atlantic. It's music of the Nordic countries drawing on traditions centuries old and compositions new as today. The current line-up includes one native Faroese, three Danes, and two Americans, who sing and play many instruments, including fiddle, recorder, piano, guitar, mandolin, and acoustic bass.
