Norðanfólk

Texas-based Norðanfólk perform skaldic Nordic folk music in the animist neofolk tradition of Northern Europe. Norðanfólk explore Norse mythical and cultural themes through a mix of originals and select favorites from well-known Nordic folk artists Wardruna, Heilung, Songleikr and Skáld. On top of ancient and traditional instruments such as the kravik lyre, hurdy-gurdy, and tagelharpa, Norðanfólk layer hypnotic rhythms and 3-part harmonies in Norwegian, Icelandic and Old Norse.
