Folkelarm ’09 performer profiles
2009’s Folkelarm live-programme is without doubt the festival’s strongest to date with acts such as Valkyrien Allstars, Frikar, Unni Løvlid, Hedningarna and Frigg hitting the showcase stages of Oslo in late September.
Folkelarm 2009, which runs from the 17th to 20th of September, has grown considerably since its inaugural event four five ago, and is now considered by many as being Scandinavia’s most important event for the traditional/world/crossover music industry.
The event’s live programme is diverse and strong, varying from acoustic and pure-sounding traditional duos to big-band crossover acts. The event’s Nordic focus is also evident, given the appearance of such top acts as Finland’s Karoliina Kantelinen, Sweden’s Hedningarna and Denmark’s Afenginn.
