bjarla
Music band (ambient folk/ pagan folk/ world music)
In their music traditional folk tunes paint images of snowy open spaces and evergreen forests. The sounds of mandolins, guitars, flutes, jouhikko, lyre, bagpipes and Jew’s-harp are intertwined with texts mainly on the northern theme. The lyric voice completes this folk-mix, accompanied by powerful throat singing. Bjarla's lyrics are written in three languages: Russian, English and Swedish. The main sources of inspiration, according to the musicians, are beautiful nature, history and a bit of mythology. The word “bjarla” is coined by the members of the collective to designate a group, has northern roots, derived from "björt" ("bright", Iceland.), "bjarmi" ("shine", Iceland.).
The group was founded in 2017.
Creativity has no limits and boundaries. Making music from the heart and soul is what's important, otherwise you'll stop being yourself.
Bjarla are people who make music that they like, with the opportunities that they have.
