   About Afenginn


Afenginn means intoxication and strength in Old Norse! Their homebrewed and unique style is categorized as Bastard-Punk-Ethno, with a sigh of Nordic melancholy and a twist of cheerful madness.

..



Afenginn..s musical universe can be described as an exiting blend of Slavic Eastern Europe, odd Balkan meters, the speed of klezmer, insane polkas, rock..n..roll feel and classical compostition. It’s a twilight zone, where you also find Tom Waits, Gogol Bordello and Kaizers Orchestra.

Afenginn was formed in Copenhagen, 2002, by five musicians with very different musical backgrounds. The result is original and virtuoso music that grows out of the roots of world, punk and folk.

Afenginn has at several occasions performed with a complete symphony orchestra and is one of the most interesting and upcoming acts on the Scandinavian world/folk scene.

In 2004 the debut album "Retrograd" was released. In addition to many positive reviews, the album received a Danish Music Award as “Best World Album 2005”. With the release of the second album "Akrobakkus" in 2006, Afenginn has purified and developed their style. The album has guest musicians in the multitalented actor Zlatko Buric and the gipsy cimbalom virtuoso George Mihalache.

Afenginn plays exclusively own material and has toured Denmark, Sweden, Norway, Finland, Faeroe Islands, Germany, Belgium, Estonia and Switzerland with over 200 concerts the last years.

Critics said:

"They're shockingly good, with imaginations and technique that won't quit. If there's justice, they'll be huge.”
Chris Nickson, fROOTS (England)

6 stars out of 6: "...an intoxicating experience with music of a very high intensity. It's pure musical energy, completely at the tip of the toes. And mind you, it is virtuosly exercised energy."
Helge Knudsen, Dagbladet Arbejderen (Denmark)

5 stars out of 6: "Probably the best balkan-rockers in Scandinavia"
Alex Regnér, Musiklandet (Sweden)

5 stars out of 6: "It..s a must to experience these 5 madmen live!"
Gaffa (Denmark)

6 stars out of 6: "...people must have forgotten time and place, when the fabulous musicians of Afenginn played... Excellent!"
Henrik R. Hansen, Soundvenue (Denmark)

"Afenginn is all about the joy of celebrating life. With this kind of infectiousness the sky's the limit..." Jazzreview (USA)

"One of Denmark..s absolutely most interesting folkmusic orchestras. Virtous, highly energetic and screamingly entertaining..." Musikeren (Denmark)

Afenginn is:
Rasmus Krøyer: clarinet, bass clarinet
Niels Skovmand: violin
Kim Nyberg: mandolin
Aske Jacoby: bassguitar

And down will come baby???? cradle and all
