In collaboration with Klubb Komle, we present Live Klubb, this time with the music collective Folksomt!
FOLKSOMT – Techno collides with Norwegian folk music
Folk merges the ancient and the electric and creates club folk music.
Norwegian folk music carries with it a rich history of sounds and stories that have been passed down through generations. Techno and electronica represent a global language of modern expression, with their focus on rhythm, texture, and energy. Crowded is a combination.
Hardanger fiddle and mouth harp float over deep bass lines, the folk song is dressed in a new guise of beats and sounds that lift and pull. The rhythms of springar, halling and polka are still pounding under the skin and the result is very danceable and dreamy. The audience is invited in, whether you are an experienced folk dancer, a free-dancing soul or a nodding club romantic.
