NEW SWEDISH FOLK WITH FRÄNDER AND TARABBAND!
January 13—3:00 pm – 6:00 pm
On January 13, join us for an afternoon of new Swedish folk music! The program will include two acts — Fränder and Tarabband— whose music pushes the boundaries of the folk genre, incorporating modern twists and elements of world music.
ABOUT THE MUSICIANS
Fränder have established themselves as a unique voice on the Nordic folk scene. They play modern, acoustic folk music with a heavier and bigger sound than is typical for the genre, delivering heavy grooves and seductive harmonies with energy and a warm presence. Fränder’s latest album release, Fränder II, has been hailed as “an absolutely magnificent masterpiece” (LIRA.se).
Tarabband is an award-winning music group founded in 2008 by Iraqi-Egyptian vocalist Nadin Al Khalidi in Malmö, Sweden. Nadin Al Khalidi fled Iraq in 2001, arriving in Sweden as a refugee. Her lyrics merge political and social themes, considering issues surrounding identity, survival and love. A unique live band with influences from North Africa, the Middle East and Europe — parts of the world where its music has seen enormous success — Tarabband is excited to celebrate their 15th anniversary this year.
