Eivør on The finalists List of Liet International 2010

Faroese and Vepsian band in the final of Liet International 2010

The selection jury of Liet International 2010 has selected the last five finalists of the 7th edition of European minority language song contest Liet International 2010, which will be held in Lorient, France on the 27th of November. The independent jury, which was composed of independant music experts from Brittany, Friesland and the Council of Europe, had a tough job. They listened to 46 songs in 21 different minority languages from all over Europe, from Galicia to Russia, from the Faroe Islands to Cyprus. Also the variety in styles was huge, ranging from folk to rock, rap, pop, tango and even folkopera.

Out of those 46 songs the jury has selected the following five artists for Liet International 2010 in Lorient, Breizh/Brittany, France:

1. Rachel Walker, Fada Bhuam, Scottish Gaelic
2. Eivør Pálsdóttir, VOKA, Faroese
3. The Temporary, Cupan Toast, Irish
4. Mafia Galega, Billarda Sempre, Galician
5. Jousnen Jarved, Verrez Tullei, Vepsian song from Russia

It will be the first time that Liet International will present songs in Faroese and Vepsian. Faroese is a minority language in Denmark, spoken by 48.000 people on the Faroe islands. The Liet Foundation is impressed by the quality of the music production in this small nation. The song of Eisvor Palsdottir was one of the nine songs Liet International received. All songs were of good quality and produced professionally. Vepsian is endangered Finn-Ugrian language spoken by only 4.000 people in Russian Karelia.
Five other bands/artists already qualified for Liet International earlier this year by winning a song contest in their part of Europe.
These five artists/bands are:

6. Xera, the winner of the Premiu al meyor cantar, Asturias
7. Pia Maria Holmgren, winner of the Sámi Grand Prix, Sámi from Sweden
8. Equal Souls, winner of Liet 2010, Fryslân
9. Stéphane Casalta, winner of Suns, Corsica
10. Resistence in Dub, winner of the public vote of Suns, Friûl, Italy

During the coming weeks the Festival Interceltique de Lorient (FIL) will select a Breton song and artist for Liet International 2010. As the host of the European minority language song contest it is their privilige to do this. This means that, apart from the Breton finalist, the line-up of Liet International 2010 is ready.

The seventh edition of Liet International is the first which will take place in France. Liet International was invited to Lorient, Brittany by de Region Breizh/Bretagne and the Festival Interceltique de Lorient (FIL). Since 2008 Liet International is organised under the patronage of the Council of Europe. Liet International is also supported by the the autonomous region of Asturias in Spain and by the province Friesland in the Netherlands.

Liet International was conceived and developed in Friesland, the Netherlands, by the Liet Foundation in 2002. Since then Liet International has become one of the larger events for the promotion of minority languages to a larger audience, attracting lots of media from all over Europe. The last edition of Liet International took place in Ljouwert/Leeuwarden, the Netherlands in 2009 and was won by Sámi rockband SomBy from the north of Finland.

EIVØR UDSENDER NYT ALBUM

Færøske Eivørs nye album "Larva" udkommer den 4. oktober
Af LENNART FRIBERG

Den færøske sangerinde Eivør Pálsdóttir udsendte sit første album i en alder af bare 16 år. Siden 2000 har hun udsendt 5 albums, og der kom også en ep tidligere i år. Den udgivelse følges til oktober op af endnu en fuldlængde udgivelse, der får titlen "Larva".

Albummet kommer til stilmæssigt at minde om førnævnte ep, som GAFFAs Ole Rosenstand Svidt skrev følgende om:

"På Eivørs nye ep får vi fire sange, hvoraf de to, "Undo Your Mind" og "Wall Of Silence", trækker i en ny retning, nemlig rocken med diskrete spor af elektronik, mens de to andre, "Monster" og "Mussisjúk", er folk-orienterede ballader i mere klassisk Eivør-stil".

Denne nye retning kommer også til udtryk på Eivørs første single, som allerede nu er på gaden. Singlen er en fortolkning af Kate Bushs "Hounds Of Love", og her mærker man tydeligt en hang til et mere elektronisk udtryk.

Selv sammenligner Eivør i en pressemeddelelse sit stilskifte med en maler, der har malet på de samme motiver i nogen tid og nu bevæger sig videre.

"Mine nye sange har mere kant. De er mere rå og måske ligefrem lidt farlige".

Som Eivør selv beskriver det, søger hun nu i en mere elektronisk og støjrocket retning, der arbejder med spændinger mellem det lyse og det mørke og blander grumsede guitar-riffs og udflydende synth-effekter med dramatiske stryger- og korarrangementer.

Desuden spiller Eivør i den kommende tid en række koncerter rundt omring i det ganske land. Her ser kalenderen ind til videre ud således:

22. oktober, Paletten, Viborg
23. oktober, Posten, Odense

3. november, Viften, Rødovre
5. november, Månen, Haderslev
6. november, Voxhall, Århus

13. november, Trommen, Hørsholm
28. november, lille Vega, København

Albummet "Larva" udkommer 4. oktober i år.
