GJALLARHORN - Innovative Nordic Sounds
Gjallarhorn features world music that is firmly rooted in the
Swedish folk music of Finland, as well as the Norwegian and
the Swedish traditions. Its talented performers offer the
listener a personal, punchy, and yet nuanced, sound-world
which rings to the echoes of the ancient Scandinavian folk
traditions.
Through their intense and witty interpretations, allied to an
innovative combination of instruments, the group creates a
fascinating landscape around their mythical medieval ballads,
hymns and whirling minuets.
Gjallarhorn's dynamic and expressive arrangements of world
music have brought the old Nordic tonalities to modern
audiences within fields as diverse as jazz, rock and world
music.As one of the leading exports within the field of Nordic
music, the group also frequently tours the international
arena, appearing in leading world music festivals.
Gjallarhorn has been fΩted in many countries. Honours received
include the coveted French "LaMonde de la Musique CHOC" and
"Trad Magazine Bravos!!!" awards.
