Afenginn plays a mixture of Nordic folk, world music and punk which alternates between gentle, lyrical passages and something one - with a smile - could define as controlled delirium. But behind their fiery stage performance lies many hours of disciplined work, composing, arranging and rehearsing new material.

Portrait and interview with the Faroese Singer and Artist.

Valravn is heading for a busy Summer finishing their second album as well as performing on various festivals around Europe, e.g. Rudolstadt Folk & Tanz Festival in Germany.

The Danish band Phønix celebrates their 20th annivesary by releasing a new album in 2010.

New project launched in connection with Womex 2009 and the annual "Spil Dansk Dagen" (Play Danish Day)on October 29th.

During the summer of 2009, Eivør will perform at venues and festivals throughout the Nordic countries and Canada.

In March Henrik Jansberg won "Artist of the Year" at Danish Music Awards - Folk 2009 in Tønder

Afenginn will be performing at venues and festivals in Denmark, Sweden and Germany this summer, presenting their third album “Reptilica Polaris”.
