Afenginn are collaborating on a project with klezmer legend Frank London. Those at Womex last year might have seen their joint appearance (which was excellent). This is going to be part of the event known as Global Village DK/NY 2010. There will be performances in Denmark on November 4,5 and 6 (shame it’s not during Womex, but oh well).
This project has been sponsored by the Danish Cultural Ministry as part of its DANY project which seeks to foster artistic relations between Denmark and NY.
Given the way Afenginn has been spreading its musical wings in recent years – working with a choir, scoring a ballet, etc. – this promises to be a very interesting collaboration.
For those wondering what other Danish artists are collaborating with Americans, the answer is Dalia, Lelo Nika and Laila Skovmand, although no details on exactly what they’ll be doing.
