Artist
Bara Grimsdottir is one of the finest singers of Icelandic folk songs. Her crystal clear voice is the perfect vehicle to carry the haunting melodies of one of the least known song traditions in Europe. With poetry going back a thousand years to the first Viking settlers and mysterious modal melodies reflecting the breathtaking wild beauty of her native land, this music deserves to reach a much wider audience beyond Iceland's rocky shores. On her CD, "Funi" ("Heat"), Bara is joined by Chris Foster and John Kirkpatrick. The resulting combination of Bara's pure shimmering voice, with Chris' exquisite guitar playing and John's squeezebox virtuosity, is a spellbinding mix guaranteed to make the spine tingle.
