Our Take

The Faroe Islands may be small in size, but don't let that fool you - their traditional music packs a mighty punch. The album "Traditional Music In The Faroe Island: 1950-1999" is a delightful journey through the sounds of these tiny but mighty islands.

From heart-wrenching ballads to toe-tapping jigs, this album has it all. The melodies are haunting, the rhythms infectious, and the musicianship top-notch. It's clear that the Faroe Islands' rich musical heritage is alive and well in these recordings.

One standout track is "Seagulls and Sheep," a whimsical tune that perfectly captures the spirit of island life. The combination of fiddles, accordions, and traditional Faroese singing creates a truly magical listening experience.

But it's not all sunshine and rainbows - there are moments of darkness and melancholy, too. Songs like "Stormy Seas" and "The Long Winter" transport the listener to a world of isolation and longing, where the harsh beauty of the Faroe Islands shines through.

Overall, "Traditional Music In The Faroe Island: 1950-1999" is a must-listen for anyone looking to expand their musical horizons. So pour yourself a glass of Faroese schnapps, sit back, and let the music of these rugged islands wash over you. Cheers!
