Voices from the past and forgotten songs come alive when Ulla Bendixen and Martin Ottosen, known from the band Sorten Muld, take you on a musical journey to the beginning of the 1900s. The evening's concert-lecture is inspired by the folklore collector Evald Tang Kristensen, who traveled out on the Jutland heath to save tales and songs before they disappeared. He visited people in their homes and collected songs, first with pen and paper and later on Edison's phonograph, where voices were recorded on wax cylinders. These recordings and stories form the basis for the concert. You can look forward to both stories about Evald's collection work and evocative music. Ulla and Martin reinterpret the old songs and play among other things treadle organ, mandolin and nyckelharpa. The songs are about hope, happiness, love and life's challenges, then and now. how music and history melt together, and gain insight into the songs and stories that once lived among the people of the heath.
