Reykjavík Grapevine - mai 2022, Síða 19
19The Reykjavík Grapevine Issue 05— 2022 It’s that time of the year again. Eurovision is being held on the 14th of May and our beloved Ey!ór’s sisters are gonna perform their song, Me" Hækkandi sól, on the stage in Turin, Italy. All of the sisters are quite well-known musicians as well as their mother, the legend Ellen Kristjánsdóttir, who Icelanders adore. The song actually won quite fierce competition when they were heads on with the feminist punk rap- pers Daughters of Reykjavík. Unlike the hip hop artists, the sisters offer a grounded lyrical folk song, somewhat a stark contrast to the often idiotic glimmer fest you find in Eurovision. The sisters have announced that they will not dance on the stage, not because they hate it, but because they have severe ADHD and wouldn’t be able to remember all of the details onstage. VG The hard-hitting news show 60 Minutes finally turned their investigating journalist's eye to the Icelandic craze of Eurovision and aired the show at the end of April. This was of course slightly embarrassing for everybody, and a small detail was kept out when stating that 98% of the nation watch the competition - that is that we also like to get drunk. Our President, Gu"ni Th. Jóhannesson, was seen cheer- ing at the Eurovision preliminary in Iceland (to be clear, he wasn’t drunk,) and then explained to the journalist, Jon Wertheim, that Icelanders have a bizarre interest in Eurovision, so much that the President actually sang Save Your Kisses for Me with Brotherhood Of Man which was the contribution from the UK in Eurovision held in 1976. Again, just to be clear, the President was not drunk. VG Ever hard-working and busy Skepta has thankfully found some time for us is- land people. This grime pioneer will be performing in Valshöllin on the 1st of July. He performed at Airwaves back in 2015, but this concert will be extra spe- cial, being his first-ever solo concert in Iceland. Collaborations over the years found him walking amongst music giants such as Drake, A$AP Rocky, Wiz Khalifa, Kanye West and Kid Cudi, but he held his own. Skepta and his brother JME packed the Reykjavik Art Museum last time, so be sure to buy your tickets before they sell out. Albumm.is reports Garcia Events, the concert host, say- ing: “It is a great pleasure that such a popular and respected musician performs in Iceland. Everyone who knows about Skepta's concert knows that no one will be disappointed by the evening in Valshöllin”. AP MUSIC NEWS Event Picks Dau!hters of Reykjavík - family concert May 13th - 18:30 - I"nó - 3900 ISK Iceland’s favourite female hip- hop collective will be playin# two concerts at I"nó on May 13th. The latter one starts at 22:00, but for those keen to brin# their kids alon# to the show, an extra performance will take place at 18:30. Your family Friday ni#ht plans sorted. IZ Kyndilberar / Torchbearers May 14th - 16:00 - Bíó Paradís - 3000 ISK Bíó Paradís is hosting the world premiere of ‘Kyndilberar’, or Torchbearers on May 14th. It’s a 7-episode video series about Icelandic folk music, with each episode being dedicated to one song, produced by Vökufélagi", an organisation building an inclusive folk music and dance community in Iceland. IZ Ólafur Arnalds May 23rd - 20:00 - Háskólabíó - 9.990-13.990 ISK Ólafur Arnalds, undoubtedly one of Iceland’s most renowned musical artists of the present- day, will kick off his much-awaited world tour from his hometown of Reykjavík. And boy, are we excited; due to the pandemic, it’s been three years since Ólafur Arnalds last performed at home. On stage with Óli will be a string quartet and percussionist, as well as his infamous self-playing Stratus pianos. The gig will feature Ólafur’s latest album Some Kind Of Peace, released in 2020. As a result, this show will mark the first time that the Grammy-nominated multi-instrumentalists album will be performed live. The concert is described as ‘intimate’, but if social anxiety is something you’re struggling in the post- covid world, beware the gig is for almost 1000 people. IZ Music and Events Upcomin!
