FAUN - Acoustic Tour Jan-April '09
We were ourself amazed about the interest and the reactions on the acoustic tour. Afterwards, we are proud to realise that all the concerts had a fantastic athmosphere, were very well visited and that even 13 of 20 concerts were totally sold out. For a little memory here a compiled video of two concerts from the tour:
FAUN combines ancient instruments with modern influences to create an enchanting and powerful atmosphere.
The band's performances incorporates with up to three voices chant and employs many different instruments. For example: Celtic harp, nyckelharpa, various lyres, bagpipes, large Japanese taiko drums, cister, Pagan zither, flutes and even Arabic instruments like dombra, rebab, riq, oud, darabukka and bendir.
Influences of Celtic folk, medieval music and Arabic rhythmic tones fusing with driving beats draws an ever fast growing crowd of followers.
