Artist: Various | Live concert: Tónafljóð
On Sunday night some of Icelands best musicians come together in the Harpa concert hall in Reykjavik.
Headlining Tónafljóð, or “Songbirds” in Eldborg, to name but a few are: Vök, Lay Low, Ragnhildur Gísla, Mammút, Ragnheiður Gröndal, Greta Salóme, Sunna Gunnlaugs and “Eldur” by Þórunn Viðar will be performed by members of the Icelandic Symphony.
KÍTÓN is short for “Women in Music” in Icelandic, is a recently founded organization in Iceland pushing on equality in the music business, visibility and nurturing the up and coming young female musicians, composers and performers.
KÍTÓN is a diverse pool of fantastic female artists who all have the same agenda: creating a positive dialogue, awareness, equality and a working platform between female musicians in Iceland.
The video below is from the Icelandic TV show Hljómskálinn and brings together grand old lady of Icelandic pop Ragnhildur Gísla, and the popular singer-song-writer Lay Low. Both of them will perform at Tónafljóð on Sunday.
