Enjoy this wonderful concert in the Erasmus Park! Äktaro plays a unique repertoire that also involves improvisation on the spot. In other words, an imposed opportunity to dream away to Scandinavian art in the beautiful Erasmus Park.
Äktaro is a tribute to traditional Swedish folk songs. Songs that the Swedish mother of trumpeter Bo Floor (known from Jungle By Night and Gallowstreet, among others) sang to him when he was little. At the Conservatorium van Amsterdam he met guitarist Siebren Smink and together they discovered the Swedish folk sound that they immediately fell in love with. Äktaro pays tribute to the roots of Scandinavian music with a twist of playful jazz improvisation. With this they create an atmosphere that reflects the tranquility and peace of the Swedish nature. Lullabies, folk music and campfire songs to calm the listener. In January 2022, the duo recorded their debut album in the forests of Sweden. This album will be released at the end of this year.
The Erasmus Park is a city park in the West district. The concerts take place in the Eikenbosje of the Erasmus Park.
