IRMELIN

Swedish folksongs

About Me

Three female singers meet in the vocal traditional music of Scandinavia. Dark and elegant songs and tunes in personal arrangements that emphasise improvisation and individual expression. With personal arrangements and great passion they tell stories that are equally relevant today as they were centuries ago.
In 2006 they released their debut album “Kärligheten” – love songs and in May 2008 they released their second album “Gyldene Freden” – the golden piece. IRMELIN members Malin Foxdal, Maria Misgeld and Karin Ericsson Back have been singing together since 1999. The group has given concerts on some of the biggest stages in Sweden and in March 2006 they went on their first international tour; to Japan. IRMELIN has performed live several times on Swedish television and radio and they often performs in spectacular contexts, especially with their unique polyphonic “kulning” – herding calls*. They have also recorded soundtracks for the Swedish University College of Film, Radio, Television and Theatre and worked as theatre musicians. IRMELIN members are experienced teachers and give workshops in folk singing, kulning and diddling/mouth music...
