Gjallarhorn
Информация о группе
Gjallarhorn ( pronounced "yal-lar-horn" )
The band is Finnish, but hails from a Swedish-speaking area on the West Coast of Finland, a fringe geographical area where 50% of the people speak Swedish and the music remains Swedish in character. Most of their repertoire is the folk music of these Swedish-speaking Finns, from the unique minuets and ballads that have only survived in Ostrobothnia, to the oldest traditional waltzes.
The narrative of Gjallarhorn's songs spring primarily from Nordic mythology. The Gjallarhorn is the horn with which the gatekeeper god, Heimdal, sent messages from the gods of Asgard to the mortals of Midgard. The name of the horn is related to the word gjala, which means "to shout" or "to sing out."
Gjallarhorn rejuvenates ancient music rooted in the traditions of the Swedish-speaking population of Finland. Their music is a modern echo of the ancient Nordic folk tradition with mythical medieval ballads, whirling minuets, prayers in runo-metric chanting and ancient Icelandic sung poetry epics. This is a dreamy, completely acoustic sound featuring intense fiddle playing, the drone of the didgeridoo, global rhythms, percussion, mandola and sweeping vocals by Jenny Wilhelm. Obviously, the didgeridoo is not a native instrument, but it supplies a low drone as the Swedish bagpipe would in the same role.
Using the sound and resonance of their instruments to greatest effect, this is Nordic music with a global view.
