a small note to all ignorant nukers out there: this is
INSTRUMENTAL music. And no, a missing language tag is not
nuke reason anyway.
Afenginn was formed in Copenhagen, Denmark in 2002 by five
musicians with very different musical backgrounds. With their
different angles of music, the result is an original and
virtuoso music that grows out of the roots of world and folk
music. They soon realized that reality and conformity not was
their cup of tea and saddled the horse of joy and madness
(which they have been riding ever since). With high tempo,
great joy and border seeking musical ideas the taking of
Denmark was founded with the music to the film "Elgen kommer"
(The moose comes) and later on with the release of the debut
album "Retrograd".
In addition to many positive reviews, Retrograd also received
a Danish Music Award for "Best World Album" in 2005. The debut
album has so far been honoured with critics as: "They're
shockingly good, with imagination and technique that won't
quit. If there's justice, they'll be huge." (fROOTS, March
2006) and "For one times sake I have to take off my hat!...and
the rest of the clothes as well." (Kultunaut, November 2004).
Afenginn's homebrewed and unique style has been categorized as
bastard-ethno, with a sigh of Nordic melancholy and a twist of
cheerful madness. We are talking a twilight zone, where also
Tom Waits, Gogol Bordello, Tiger Lillies and Kaizers Orchestra
can be found.
With the release of their second album, Akrobakkus, Afenginn
purified and developed this style. The album has guest
musicians in the multitalented actor Zlatko Buric and the
gipsy cimbalom virtuoso George Mihalache. The orchestra plays
exclusively own compositions and has toured actively in
Denmark, Sweden, Norway, Finland, Faroe Islands, Germany,
Belgium, Estonia and Switzerland with over 200 concerts in the
past years.
