Ygdrassil

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Ygdrassil is a Dutch harmony singing folk duo, that consists of the singer/songwriters Linde Nijland and Annemarieke Coenders. The group draws on the British and American folk tradition, but is also influenced by contemporary Lo-fi music. In 2004 multi-instrumentalist Bert Ridderbos joins them on stage. With a unique blend of their voices they record five albums and one live DVD, perform in The Netherlands, The UK, Germany, Belgium and Estonia, untill 2007 marks the preliminary end of the group. After 15 years of working together they continue as solo-singers. Linde tours in 2008 with her Sandy Denny tribute programme and starts a new international band, Het Internationaal Folkcomplot.
