When
24 Oct 2003

Location
Glen Echo Town Hall, Glen Echo, MD
Sp?limenninir ("the folk musicians") is a lively group of six musicians that play traditional and contemporary folk music from Scandinavia on fiddle, recorder, piano, guitar, mandolin and acoustic bass and vocals. The group's home base is the Faroe Islands in the far North Atlantic, a small cluster of islands located between Iceland, Norway and Scotland.While they are based in the Faroes, Sp?limenninir is not strictly a "Faroese" band, either in personnel or music. Playing together for over 20 years, the line-up includes one native Faroese, one Swede, two Americans and two Danes. This international collaboration has resulted in a varied repertoire which reflects each member's heritage and illustrates the links between the music traditions of the Scandinavian countries and the United States. Come to listen, perchance to dance. The band's long-awaited new CD, Malargrot, will be available for sale.
