Their repertoire is a harmonious blend of traditional Nordic folk tunes and their own unique compositions, inspired by tales of Norse gods, legendary heroes, and the stirring landscapes of the Viking world.

Sowulo: Crafting Musical Sagas
The members of Sowulo, each a seasoned artist, masterfully handle a variety of traditional instruments, from the hauntingly beautiful sounds of the Nyckelharpa and the Kantele to the resonant beats of ancient drums. The result is a rich, layered soundscape that transports listeners to another age.
Lyrically, Sowulo’s music is an enchanting mix of the old and the new.

Their melodies serve as a bridge between the past and the present, a testament to the enduring spirit of the Viking era.
In essence, Sowulo is more than just a band. It’s a connection to our shared human history, a celebration of the timeless power of music, and a tribute to the indomitable spirit of the Vikings. Their music invites you to journey back in time, to feel the chill of the Nordic wind on your face, and to hear the echoes of ancient sagas in every note. See more on their website.
