Afenginn is a band from Denmark. They play high energy Nordic folk. In 2005 they won the "Best world album" at the Danish World Awards, for the album Retrograd. Their second commercial album, Akrobakkus, was released 19 February, 2006. At the release party of Akrobakkus it was announced that Andrzej Krejniuk, the bass guitarist, would withdraw from the band. During the release party, there was a secret vote for a new bass guitarist (the vote was disguised as a question in a competition), and Aske Jacoby was announced as the new bass guitarist. After the inclusion of Aske Jacoby, Afenginn's music has become more jazzy.
