Wardruna

The acclaimed Norwegian group founded by Einar Kvitrafn Selvik brings its unique adaptation of traditional Nordic music and poetic metres to the concert stage. Wardruna primarily uses old and historical instruments such as primitive deer-hide frame drums, Kraviklyra, tagelharpe, mouth harp, goat horn, and lur combined with non-traditional instruments and other sources of sound like trees, rocks, water and flaming torches. All of these elements are carefully woven into a rich musical landscape and complemented with whispering voices, melodic song and mighty choirs. Although Wardruna's music shares characteristics with music typically labeled as folk, world and/or ambient, none of these genres can really describe their unique style. It truly must be experienced.
