Suna

About Me

Det dystre og iskolde nord i intens fusion med den vilde sigøjnerfest. På et tungt groovende fundament, med et nærmest elektronisk islæt, mixer Suna en rå cocktail af egne og traditionelle melodier. En forførende og helt igennem unik egenart. Stærkt følelsesladet, vanvittigt smukt og klichefyldt med et twist af overdrevet melankoli.

Suna har de sidste 5 år præget den ny københavnske world/folk /balkan-scene med mere end 60 koncerter på spillesteder og festivaler som: Krudttønden, Global, Den Grå hal, Huset I Magstræde, Kulturhuset Islandsbrygge, Klaverfabrikken, Odense Sommerjazz, Odense Folkfestival, Vesterbrofestival, samt koncerter I Schweiz og Sverige
I januar 2007 udgav Suna deres debut album “Konglomerat”, som blev pre-nomineret til Danish World Music Awards både for årets album og årets track.
SUNA takes inspiration from different European traditions to create a unique mix of Eastern rhythms of Nordic songs. The passion of the gipsies meet the cold atmospheres of the North melting with burning oriental grooves. With their voices and instruments, SUNA takes the audience in a journey that they will hardly forget!
The band got together 5 years ago and the 4 members count several common experiences on the music and theatre Danish scenes.
The remix of "Sokolmi" has been pre-nominated to the Danish World Awards 2007 as best track of the year and the album "Konglomerat" as best album of the year.

Sounds Like: "Et seriøs bud på begrebet "kometer på morgendagens internationale folk-scene". Intensiteten og formatet emmer ud over scenekanten fra første sekund, sammen med en charmerende ydmyghed, ukrukkethed og spilleglæde... Man bliver simpelt hen taget med på en rejse, hvor man glemmer tid og sted omkring sig... Det er som en organisme der indtager ens krop, uanset om man er til den genre eller ej. En sanselig, pirrende og æstetisk oplevelse." Martin Seeberg, fra Folk & Musik, nr.1 2007“Stærk østeuropæisk musik fra Danmark. Der er både hjerte og teknik med, når Suna synger og spiller sig vej igennem deres særlige folkemusikunivers.” * * * * * Djembé, af Jack Donen
