Torgeir Vassvik, the Circumpolar Sami sound-poet, is going on!
After a successful 2019 world tour in 13 countries, including Romania, Ruanda, South Korea, Canada, UK, Belgium, Germany, and all of Scandinavia, he is looking forward to playing for your audience.
The 2019 album "Gákti", released by him and his band VASSVIK on the Norwegian Indie- Label Grappa/Heilo, was received and reviewed and hit the charts (number 12 Transglobal World Music Charts 07/19, number 5 World Music Charts Europe 09/19).
Torgeir's yoiking reveals the deepest vibrations and most beautiful overtones of human soul, resonating with experimental, playful and groovy expressions on his guitar and frame drum, combined with electronics, birbyne, jews-harp, igil, and violins. The culture of the Sami indigenous people is anchored in Torgeir Vassvik's genes. But in his projects the archaic forms only a starting point for border-crossings, experiments and modern improvisation.
Now it is your chance to have this unique artist on your stage and let the music-lovers witness the creation of new contemporary sounds out of one of the most ancient traditions.
