How about now with the latest album Kvitravn? I love it.

There are very, very few Men who can impress me with their Talent as much as Einar. What a true Stunner He is 👌💖

I can't stop coming back, such a gorgeous song

thank you for posting this. I enjoyed the aspect he tells of the instrument at the beginning.

To stem confusion, it's both. The intro is Ár var Alda, and when he begins singing it turns into vindavla

Such feeling and passion. Moves your spirit.

Thank you very much Einar!

Thank you.

Going to see him live in 2 weeks time - can't wait!

Piotr Szczerbiński How was it?

The mame of this song is Vindavla.

"I'm gonna demonstrate this a little bit, then I'm gonna sing a bit about sorcery." Only the first part is "Ár var alda" which is entirely instrumental. The second song is Vindavla / Vindavlarljod.

his beard looks gigantic now,if only he would let it loose :D

J. Sleeka old norse was split into two groups old western norse, what later became islandsk, norsk and färöer and old eastern norse what later became svensk and dansk. so norwegian and icelandic come from the same branch of old norse. but since Iceland was more isolated thn norway, it kept the language more or less unchanged and it is still the closest to old norse.

Are you sure about this? I mean, do you speak either of these tongues, or has someone who does confirmed it to you? I don't, but it sounds pretty Norwegian, plus composing such a work in a dead tongue would be, while not impossible, quite an accomplishment.

the old norse is very close to the icelandic language today - although we do not speak in that way today,we can understand it pretty well.

Bengt Svenson sorry but that's not musically possible. Sure his harp may have a unique sound from how he builds them, but someone else will always be able to match the tuning. I'm pretty sure he's tuned to the standard jouhikko tuning, drone in the middle, a fourth above on the bottom string, and a fifth above on the top string. Sounds like F, B flat, E flat possibly. Could be wrong though.

Hey man, i think that it´s in D#m, the first string is in D#, the second one in Bb, and the third in D# again but one octave lower. It´s the power chord of D#m. Greetings from Tenerife, The Canary Islands.

@celtic.runesinger2481

Oftentimes he uses standard Jouhikko tuning as described three replies back, but in this case I think he is tuned in open fifths, so a B flat, an F, and a B flat an octave below. I am a Jouhikko maker, and I use both of these tunings: the open fifth kind is more in the style of the Shetland Gue rather than of the Jouhikko.

This is vindavla from the skald album .....but Awesome video either way
