Concerts, balfolks and workshops. Sara Buffler comes from Alsace in north-eastern France. With her harp and her voice, she performs with many formations aswell as a lot in solo. |
Balfolk Emelie solo
Emelie needs only her instruments to make dancers turn on the dancefloor all night long ! The recipe ? Her favourite Swedish tunes, some balfolk repertoire and personal compositions.
Nyckelharpa, fiddle, singing and foot percussion. Accoustic or with amplification. Workshops ideas before the dance : nyckelharpa, Nordic fiddle techniques, Swedish repertoire, Scandinavian dances... |
Knupia
Knupia is the story of two bands becoming a family. It is Sweden, the Netherlands and Switzerland united in a common balfolk and Scandinavian repertoire. Knep and Nubia put all their musicians and dance teachers together on stage, for a visible tight-bond energy carrying the dancers' feet all night long.

KNEP is a folk duo from Switzerland which plays swedish traditional music as well as personal compositions. It's a lot of silly things, like octopuses on stage, carrots, unexpected instruments and costumes never seen on a dancefloor. It's a solution for how to survive in very cold conditions.
