About

Gjallarhorn (Swedish pronunciation: [ˈjâlːarˌhuːɳ], Finland Swedish: [ˈjɑlːɑrˌhuːrn]) is a Finnish band that performs folk rock with roots in the folk music of Finland and Sweden. The group was formed in 1994. The band's music echoes the ancient folk music tradition of Scandinavia with medieval ballads, minuets, prayers in runo-metric chanting and ancient Icelandic rímur epics in a modern way. The group is named after the Gjallarhorn associated with the god Heimdallr from the Norse mythology.

Gjallarhorn est un groupe finlandais de musiques du monde, originaire d'Ostrobotnie du Sud. Son nom vient de Gjallarhorn, le cor du dieu Heimdall dans la mythologie nordique. La musique et les chansons du groupe s'inspirent de la musique folk nordique, aussi bien finlandaise que suédoise et norvégienne. Son univers s'inspire des traditions et des mythes scandinaves médiévaux.
