Concert with Flytifólk at Viðareiði Church
Sunday, 1st December 2024
16:00

Flytifólk is a group of four musicians who have moved to the Faroe Islands from the UK, Germany, and Denmark, respectively. They perform music that reflects the spirit of a travelling musician, including Klezmer music from Eastern Europe, wedding tunes from the Balkans, and songs from the wandering Romani Gypsies. This music highlights how cultures have met and influenced each other long before modern globalisation developed.

The concert will also feature new compositions written by members of the group.

Daniel Rye – clarinet
Anna Hüdepohl – accordion
Torleik Mortensen – bass
James Goodwin – percussion

Organised by the Faroese Folk Music Association.
Supported by Økistónar.
