Riot Nights: Fränder / Maryna Krut
FRÄNDER blends Swedish and Estonian folk traditions with a modern twist, creating a unique "heavy folk" sound. Their captivating performances and star qualities makes them ideal on the main stage of any festival. Still not sounding like anything else with their traditional acoustic instruments. With their latest album, FRÄNDER II, they pushed the boundaries of folk music and wowed audiences worldwide, from Scandinavia to Japan, Canada and USA. Discover FRÄNDER's evocative melodies and energetic performances that redefine the folk music genre.
Maryna Krut (pronounced “kroot”) is a Ukrainian singer and virtuoso of the bandura, a stringed instrument unique to Ukraine that looks and sounds like a hybrid of lute and harp. At 28, Maryna Krut is an assured performing artist; her compelling, soulful performances evoke both folk traditions and modern sensibilities, with pop and jazz flourishes. A Eurovision finalist, she often represents Ukraine at official events and performs for soldiers in the current war zone, and she has appeared at the Edinburgh International Culture Summit, Andalucia Big Festival, Montreal Ukrainian Festival, and on other international stages.
