Really nice, they make good music in Iceland.

[Caismeachd]

Really nice, they make good music in Iceland.


Pretty much all the northern countries do. UK has good music but something about the northern countries make excellent music.


Heard a long time ago that a lot of Scottish inventions were made because the rainy days make it difficult to do anything else but sit around and think of things. Must be similar with music and snow.

I went to see FM Belfast play in a small bar in Reykjavik when I was there in September. They'd just got back from a European tour. I'm not sure why they're called that, but they are Icelanders. Anyway, they're crazy! :P But they put on a brilliant live show. I think you can see the British Isles influence on the genes of some of the band.

Iceland has very aggressive folk songs, which reflects well their Viking heritage.

Video description: The hymn "Heyr, himna smiður" was written by the Icelandic viking Kolbeinn Tumason in 1208. The music was composed in the 1970s by Þorkell Sigurbjörnsson (1938-2013), one of Iceland's foremost contemporary composers. We performed this impromptu at the train station in Wuppertal, Germany, on September 15, 2013. We had just finished playing a regularl concert in an adjacent music venue and we're hanging out with our listeners after the show when we discovered the amazing acoustics inside the train station hall. Our friend Linda Iliste spontaneously recorded this on her camera, and we're very happy she did! To buy the sheet music: http://goo.gl/mZRSti (https://www.youtube.com/redirect?q=http%3A%2F%2Fgoo.gl%2FmZRSti&v=e4dT8FJ2GE0&event=video_description&redir_token=bCQToBwBrmg4Toz6VFRBKyVSQa98MTU3OTE0MD g3NEAxNTc5MDU0NDc0)

Eng:
Ólafur Liljurós is a traditional Viking folk tale dating back to the 9th century. The song tells the classic story of a man who goes to visit his mother. During his journey, he meets an elf who seduces and kills the traveler.

Is:
Ólafur Liljurós er hefðbundin víkingaþjóðsaga frá 9. öld. Lagið segir klassíska sögu manns sem fer að heimsækja móður sína. Á ferð sinni hittir hann álf sem tælir ferðalanginn og drepur hann.
