For the last Free Folk Mondays of the year, we are proud to present an extraordinary line-up – with the finest folk sounds from Spain and Central Jutland.
Maskineri are the loud challengers and preachers of the traditional folk music from Central Jutland – It is reckless and bold, and you spot more than a gentle twinkle, yes, it is fireworks in their eyes, so all the polkas, waltzes and hopsas fear for their lives. With their playful finesse and the mix of new and old, Søren and Maja deliver tunes that catch your ear and songs that capture your heart.
