Kragetær:

For the musical trio Kragetær The core of folk music is what brings them together as a band. With all sorts of acoustic instruments such as guitar, accordion and bouzki, the group creates their very own artistic interpretation of folk music.

It is important to Kragetær that the music is based on the Nordic dance tradition, after which it is infused with ideas and inspirations from the deep popular music tradition.

Lyrically, Kragetær is challenging and exploratory, balancing the ugly and vulgar with the gentle and poetic. Their well-considered lyrics stand out clearly on their latest album. Kragetær - Calibrators (2025), which contains two EPs of their new compositions.

With dance-friendly melodies and experimental lyrics, Kragetær is ready to transform Ideal Bar into a Nordic folk festival on September 13th.
