Ice, fire and breath. Wardruna & FRIKAR join forces in new music video to focus on climate. Enable subtitles for lyrics.
“For a long time I have admired FRIKAR and their skillful way of merging the past with the present in their artistic expressions”, says Einar Selvik, the man behind Wardruna. “ In many ways very similar to our own musical approach to history and older Nordic traditions. Needless to say I was very exited when they wanted to create a video performance, giving their interpretation of our song Andvevarljod.”
“To me it’s very inspiring to see how Wardruna has succeeded in using inspiration from Nordic folk music to create their own sound which releases the visceral power that lies beyond the conscious mind. We are both highly interested in how the Norse mythology connects humanity with nature. Covid-19 might have distracted humanity from the climate crises, and with this film I hope we can inspire to connect with nature”, says Hallgrim Hansegård. He is both the filmmaker and choreographer behind the film.
Andvevarljod (Song of The Spirit-Weavers) is a central piece on the new Wardruna album KVITRAVN. It explores the Nordic deities of fate; the Norns, the spinning of life threads and the Norse and Sámi common idea that a person´s spirit is connected to wind, both before and after birth. The song features guest appearances by a small group of prominent Norwegian traditional singers, Kirsten Bråten Berg, Sigrid Berg, Unni Løvlid, Ingebjørg Reinholdt alongside our own Lindy-Fay Hella. The music video features the FRIKAR dancers Sikia Chi Masters Heien, Håkon Håvelsrud Odden, Nikolaj Bo Fischer Nielsen and Hallgrim Hansegård.
This is the first time Wardruna & FRIKAR collaborate, even though they both have toured the world with new artistic expressions inspired by Norse folk traditions. Wardruna is famous for giving sound to the TV show “Vikings” and computer game “Assassins Creed Valhalla”. FRIKAR helped Norway win Eurovision Song Contest in 2009 and gave movements to the computer game “Age of Conan hyborian adventures”.
The canyon and waterfalls of the music video is going to be the scenary of FRIKARs new production GANDR July 21st - 30 th 2022. For more info about FRIKAR please visit .
