 The award-winning duo consist of Sonnich Lydom & Kristian Bugge, two ”Rigspillemænd of Denmark.” - between the pictures here you also find the front cover of the first Gangspil album (simply called Gangspil) that is sadly not connected to this profile, but easy to find :) Sonnich and Kristian will take you on a journey through the traditions of Danish folk music. They perform old dance tunes and songs from every corner of their Scandinavian home country, including a few of their own compositions. Expect everything from wild polkas and jigs to lyrical waltzes, fiery reels and happy hopsas, plus the exotic “Sønderhoning” dance tunes from the Island of Fanø. Gangspil have toured intensively and played more than 150 shows in North America since 2015! - as well as a good number in other parts of the world. The group has become a well-known name in trad- and folk circles both home in Scandinavia and abroad. In 2016 they received the "Tradition Award" at the Danish Music Awards (Danish Grammy.) Both Kristian and Sonnich were amongst the first twelve musicians to recieve the honorary title ”Danmarks Rigsspillemænd” (National Danish Folk Musicians) in 2014. The band began as a trio back in 2012 and then became a duo in 2017. After that they've played with many different musicians, who each contribute an extra dimension. The new album features many such friends amongst them pianist and harmonium player Malene D Beck.
