Ulla Bendixen and Martin Ottosen take you back to the early 1900s, when old songs and tales from the Jutland heath were at risk of being lost. The concert lecture is inspired by the folklore collector Evald Tang Kristensen, who visited people in their homes to gather songs, first on paper and later on Edison's phonograph, where voices were recorded onto wax cylinders.
Expect storytelling about Evald's collecting work alongside atmospheric music. Ulla and Martin give the old songs new life on instruments including the barrel organ, mandolin and nyckelharpa. The songs deal with hope, happiness, love and life's hardships, then and now. Martin Ottosen is known from the band Sorten Muld.
