Vrang - Bare Folk CD

The music from the folk music trio Vrang is delicate and powerful, carefully groomed and feral, with elements from the east, west and north of the globe. It is astounding how a trio with lyre, fiddle, harding fiddle and vocals manages to pull the listener with it to such heights and depths, surprises, idylls and drama with so few and basic instruments. On their new album, “Bare Folk”, we meet a more personal version of the trio. They have chosen to write their own lyrics and melodies, welcoming the listener closer into them, with songs that link to a diversity of musical inspirations, from Brazilian rabeca music to rammeslatter, wild, demonic fiddle music from the Setesdal valley in Norway.
