Welcome to RadioFolk.dk’s podcast. In this edition of the podcast, we will be featuring the Danish band, Som os, in a concert recorded at the famous Danish Tønder Festival that runs the last weekend of August every year.
The Danish band Som Os (Meaning ‘Like Us’) are describing them self as a Nordic Folk Fusion Band consisting of musicians from mixed musical backgrounds. The band is relatively young and they released their first album, Mosaik, in 2023.
The five members of the band are:
Annelene Toft Christensen on the violin, Tim Ewé Bjerre on trompet, Jakob Kragesand on double bass, Chris Falkenberg on drums and Michael Hornhaver Mortensen on guitar. They come from all over Denmark and they are rooted in different genres, genres like folk music, jazz, metal, and balkan music.
So now it is time to consider making a tik-tok video of you yourself dancing around in your living room, while listening to the Danish band Som Os playing Nordic Folk Fusion at Tønder Festival 2024. And the band start out by playing violinist Annelene Toft Christensen’s tune ‘Lyden af Frihed’, The Sound of Freedom.
Folk Live is being brought to you by RadioFolk.dk, Folk Spot Denmark and Tønder Festival, supported by Spot Festival and The Danish Arts Council.
