Akunnerit 2019

The musical performance Akunnerit is a tribute to Laarseeraq Svendsen and the lovely music he has made. It will be a musical evening for the adult audience with a focus on good mood and togetherness. 

The performance is not a historical retrospect, but we let the songs speak to us in the present. The music has been re-arranged and the songs are performed by three young singers. 

The lyrics exude love and a pride in the Greenlandic nature and the people. But it's not all rosy, and there can also be small surprises and room for laughter along the way. 

The singer Laarseeraq Svendsen (1926-1975) was a singer, a super star in the 50s and 60s. His recordings dating back to the period 1958-1975 have been edited and re-released on CD in the year 1990. These songs are now on stage for the show in Hans Lynge Hall in Katuaq.
