about

There are many theories around the origins of the Da Greenland Man’s Tune, one of which places its heritage with the indigenous Yakki-speaking population in Greenland. The story goes that during Shetland’s whaling era, workers onboard these Polar expeditions brought back this tune before it was absorbed into the traditional fiddle music of Shetland. It is a tune that marks the circulation of music and intercultural exchange, with the music production echoing this sentiment; melodic lines flow between voicings rather than staying within a single instrument’s parameters.

Here, the ocean is revealed as a connecting medium, a conduit for new creative expressions. The multiple origin stories act to reveal a more fluid quality to ‘tradition’, something that is usually presented as fixed and unchanging.
