Drawing from a palette that defies the conventional labels of folk, Afenginn, conceived by composer Kim Rafael Nyberg, is an ensemble that crafts intricate soundscapes where meditative melodies meet complex, multilayered arrangements. Their music, often instrumental, unfolds in long forms, inviting listeners into contemplative spaces woven with both artful complexity and serene beauty.
Afenginn’s odyssey began in the creative incubator of Copenhagen's music scene, where their first notes echoed with a promise of innovation. The ensemble's journey from "Retrograd" to "Klingra" is marked by an ambitious arc, garnering critical acclaim and a storied collection of accolades including multiple Danish Music Awards. Their auditory signature is a crafted blend of expansive compositions that feel like auditory narratives, earning them prestigious honors such as the Carl Prisen for "Roots Composer of the Year."
The ensemble's performances are a testament to their versatility and the universal appeal of their art. They have captivated audiences in settings as diverse as the grand stages of Roskilde Festival, the intimate acoustics of a fishing boat in the Faroe Islands, the lush backdrop of Malaysian botanical gardens, and the vibrant showcase at SXSW. It’s this ability to transition from grandeur to intimacy that illustrates the reach and resonance of their music.
