Would you like to exchange musicfiles with us?
We work in a home studio, using a macbook and pro tools le 7.4.2. If you would like to work with some of our arrangements or add an instrument, this could be possible by emailing the files.
Also, if you have your own arrangements and would like to add our voices and instruments, this could also be possible.
The idea is that exchanging the files is a free way of developing music together all over the world, using the internet. However, if you earn money using files and arrangements from Daap, we wouldnt mind having a share of it.
If this looks interesting, please send us an email.
Daap (meaning "baptism") plays and transforms old, Nordic hymns and folk music from 1600-1700.
The group comes from a small town, Vadsø, in Northeastern, Arctic Norway.
The town has throughout the history been housing the indegionous Saami people, Norwegian settlers, Finnish immigrants and Russian traders.
This, and the religious movement of the North-Nordic preacher Lästadius has made an important impact on the culture.
The Finnish immigrants from the 1800 developed their own kind of Finnish language, called "kvensk" in this Arctic area. This language is now forgotten in many places.
The singer of Daap does not understand Finnish, but uses the language in some songs as he has been learned.
Also, the languages in the songs has been many; Norwegian, Swedish, Finnish, Congolesian and french.
Now the small town is represented by over 50 different nationalities and cultures. Among them, lots of refugees.
Both the history and the present culture is what Daap want to reflect.
We have used different musicians, from Hammond-rockers to a Congolesian singer/percussionist.
See and hear more about Daap in our homepage.

Takk gangstervenner for at vi får skryte av plata vår hjemme hos dere! .... FREDRIKSTAD BLAD: Det var ikke Kaizers Orchestra som brakte ompa'en inn i rockemusikken – det gjorde Ompakara fra Elverum. Geir Løvli ØSTLENDINGEN:6/6 Musikalsk er dette en eneste lang triumfferd P K Hansen BERGENSAVISA: 5/6 Det er balkanpønk, Pogues, Tom Waits, sigøynerballader og Leningrad Cowboys i en heidundrende blanding. B T Brøske ABC STARTSIDEN. NO: 8/10 «Gangsterpolka» er nok den mest originale platen som er gitt ut hittil i 2008. Men den er også en av de friskeste og mest fascinerende. Knut Utler. DAGSAVISEN: Spillegleden er upåklagelig, og tekstene er både godt formulert og fulle av spissfindig humor.Geir Rakvaag VG:Tyver på keisernes marked.S Østbø EXACT 24: Ompakara er moro, Ompakara er tøft. VARDEN:Av og til, når jeg tenker at jeg har hørt de fleste musikksjangrer, dukker band som Ompakara opp. Det seksmann store orkesteret kan best beskrives som en blanding av sigøynerrock, hardpolka og soundtracket til Aladdin-filmene. Albumet Gangsterpolka er hardt, fengende og med noen tekstlinjer du sannsynligvis aldri har hørt før: " I garasjen står to fine biler, kjører kun i heterofiler" "Gangsterpolka" er en meget underholdende plate og absolutt verdt å sjekke ut hvis du har lyst til å prøve noe utenom det vante. Martin Zondag TØNSBERG BLAD:1/6 Håpløst møl. Det tok meg fem minutter å pløye gjennom dette håpløse mølet, som var helt bortkastet for øvrig.
