about

A best selling collection of Icelandic folksongs. Outstanding singers and musicians. Beautiful ballads, vigor and humor - Quintsongs and "Rímur" in the old Viking-fashion. The Icelandic National Anthem.

Guests at a typical Icelandic get-together are bound to hear the natives sing these songs recorded here on Vikivaki.

lt is an excellent collection of the Icelander's favorite folksongs which describe their way of living on this lone island on top of
the world, their struggle with the merciless forces of nature through the ages.

You hear about the hardships of the farmers in the dead of winter, about the brave seamen who fought the sea at all
times, about outlaws and fairies, about love and despair.

Stefan S. Stefansson, a leading Icelandic musician, formed a group of outstanding musicians in Iceland to perform these songs.

His arrangements bring forward the vigour and beauty of Icelandic folksongs. Vikivaki is a fascinating mixture of joy
and sorrow, humour and tragedy, folklore and fantasy.

lt is the music of ice and fire - pure Icelandic music.
