Folk magazine about past and present, from freak folk to minstrels.
We’re in the dead of winter which means it’s time for a heartwarming Folk it! Today we will broadcast music from regions where it’s even colder than the Netherlands. We pay attention to the debut of the Swedish duo Siri Karlsson and the Swedish old hands Kebnekaise and Arbete Och Fritid. For this mini special, we crawl even further up north: Sami music or joik is at the centre of this special. The east wind brings with it music from Latvia, including by the formation Ilgi, and a multi-Russian project under the name of REEL which lets you hear what kind of music you get when various Russian cultures make music together. Via a wintry song of the German Malbrook (see image), we end up in the most northern province of the Netherlands: Groningen. Make yourself some hot cocoa, put on your favourite slippers and for an hour or so let yourself be swirled away with the cold northern wind.
