Authentic shaman songs from Siberia recreated for violin

SHAMANVIOLIN arose out of wax-cylinder recordings, collected by Finnish linguist Kai Donner in his incredible travels across Siberia between 1912 and 1914. These wax-cylinders include rare songs sung by real shamans from the Ob and Yenisei-river districts.
In the Live performance of SHAMANVIOLIN, the songs are coupled with good old story telling. Each song has it’s own history. Sharing these stories create an image of the arctic people, their myths and cosmology, life and arts.
