Nordic Ballads & Satro Shaman Drums “Nordic Ballads was, in the end, more than a concert program—it was a deliberate act of cultural retrieval, Veski and his collaborators returning old stories to life with a modern sensibility that felt both timeless in origin and fresh in execution.”

“Villu Veski was reunited with Danish singer Katrina Petersen. Thanks to her Faroese family roots, she naturally interprets the archipelago’s ancient ballads, as well as songs in Icelandic and other Nordic languages. Alongside them, guitarist Andreas Ugorskij and keyboard player Raun Juurikas create an atmosphere of great delicacy, before the arrival of the Satro Shaman Drum Orchestra takes the performance into an entirely different dimension”
