Edith tulkar svenskar vísur

Edith tulkar svenskar vísur

19 ára gomul flutti Edith Dahl Jakobsen til Svøríkis at fordjúpa seg í norðurlendsku vísutraditiónini og tekstatulking. Hon gekk á á Nordiska folkhögskolan í Kungälv - sami skúli, sum hevur verið við til at mynda føroyskar fólkatónleikarar sum Hanus G. Johansen og Niels Midjord.

Hetta árið arbeiddi hon við vísum úr øllum Norðanlondunum, men tað var serliga ríki svenski vísuskatturin, ið festi røtur í hjarta hennara. Til hesa konsertina vendir Edith aftur til tær vísurnar, sum vóru við til at mynda hana vísusangara - sangirnir, sum vóru við til at forma hennara tónlistaligu rødd, og sum framvegis geva henni íblástur í dag. 

Við sær á pall hevur hon:

Allan Tausen, gittar
Kristian Pauli Ellefsen, tangentar
Bárður Reinert Poulsen, bass
James Goodwin, trummur og slagverk

Edith sings Swedish ballads

At just 19, Edith moved to Sweden to immerse herself in the Nordic ballad tradition and the art of song interpretation. She studied at the Nordic Folk High School in Kungälv — a place that has also shaped Faroese artists such as Hanus G. and Niels Midjord.

During that year she explored ballad traditions from across the Nordic countries, but it was the rich Swedish song tradition that truly captured her heart. For this concert, Edith returns to the songs that shaped her as a ballad singer — the repertoire that helped defined her musical voice then and continues to inspire her today.

Joining her on stage are:

Allan Tausen, guitar
Kristian Pauli Ellefsen, keyboards
Bárður Reinert Poulsen, bass
James Goodwin, drums & Percussion
