Description
Middelalder lab #17 presenter Wandering ballads. Scott and Johanna are a duo who perform early traditional songs, ballads and tales. Their wanderings have led them from Finland and Iowa respectively - through Europe, Scandinavia, India, and the U.S.
People have sung stories since times immemorial as a way to memorize and record history, myths and tales. The songs we today refer to as medieval and traditional ballads have their roots among Nordic epic sagas, French romantic lays, Celtic lore and World mythology. They all share themes that have traveled cultures, continents and centuries. They have metamorphosed and melted into various musical traditions, weaving a world of fantasy and mystery.
Their performances have been described as magical, inspiring, haunting, mesmerizing ...
"... the Hongell-Darsees summon ancient characters from the depths of our collective unconscious and bid you take leave of the modern world and join your ancestors, huddled together in a hut around a fire as the storyteller makes the hair on your arms stand straight up." (Mel Minter, Musically Speaking, Albuquerque, NM)
Their recordings include The Island Furthest Away 2008, The Wandering Ballad 2014, The Mountain King 2016, Saved By His Lady 2019 and have been nominated for 3 New Mexico Music Awards. They have had multiple songs on The Top 40 World Music Charts by Ethnocloud and their songs can also be found on several Celtic music compilations.
After relocating to New Mexico from Scandinavia in 2001, Scott and Johanna have performed all over the U.S. at festivals, theatres, arts councils, universities, schools, libraries, and live radio and TV broadcasts.
Johanna (vocals, woodwinds, arrangements) was born in Finland. Apart from music she has a background in theater and dance. She studied theater in France and Bharata Natyam dance in India. She has worked as a performing artist for over 40 years in Scandinavia, Europe, India and USA and led the dance and theater company Teater Bava in Sweden for 10 years.
Scott (stringed instruments, arrangements, composer) was born in USA. Since 2000 Scott has performed music throughout the US from New York to California. Before relocating to New Mexico, he spent 16 years in Europe, where parallel to his artistic work he worked with ballet companies such as Dance Theatre of Harlem, London Festival Ballet, English National Ballet, Den Kongelige Ballet and Hamburg Ballet.
