Description

Explore the unique vocal traditions of Iceland in Icelandic Men and Me: Sagas of Singing, Self and Everyday Life. Part of the SOAS Studies in Music series, this book looks beyond the global fame of artists like Bjork and Sigur Ros to examine the authentic musical life of the island. Set just below the Arctic Circle, this work investigates how Icelandic men use singing as an everyday life skill. It examines these vocal practices against the backdrop of the nation's distinct natural, historical, economic, and social landscape. From the impact of the Global Financial Crisis to the volcanic eruptions that affected international travel, the book connects local music to broader global phenomena. This study provides a deep look at how song functions as a part of the self and daily existence in a sparsely populated North Atlantic nation. It is an essential read for those interested in folk music, ethnomusicology, and the social role of singing in unique cultural environments.
