Reunion with Kristján from Djúpalæk and his texts.
A music and story time with the band Djúpalæk, where tunes and speech will be directed to Kristján from Djúplæk's lyrics to Icelandic dance and popular songs.
Between songs, Halldór Gunnarsson, who got to know Kristján closely as a child, raises questions such as:
Why did the poet dip his toes into low culture in this way?
How did Kristján see the influence of popular lyrics?
How was this initiative of the poet viewed by different groups?
How do the poet's childhood paths and outlook on life appear in his texts?
What was his political vision?
What was his relationship with the songwriters?
High culture, low culture?
Who lyrics poetry and lyrics lyrics?
What is the story behind each lyric?
What was Kristján's name like?
In addition to Halldór who plays accordion, piano and harmonica, the band Djúpalæk consists of Íris Jónsdóttir, singer, Þröstur Þorbjörnsson guitarist, Haraldur Þorsteinsson bassist and Sigurður Reynisson drummer.
