Can you sing in a 1,000 year old language?

In this video, my guest singer Magga and I showcase our Icelandic song Undir Klettinum / Álfarann. We will guide you through the unique and beautiful sounds of the Icelandic language, and you can try to pronounce the Icelandic lyrics together with us. Whether you are a fan of Icelandic music or simply interested in learning about this incredible language, culture and its legends, we hope that you will enjoy this video and learn something new.

I definitely think Álfarann makes the better title. Beautiful singing either way, and lovely story.

I love when people in the music industry collab with peoples of other languages. I love the openness and willingness to learn our hereditary languages.

Love this! I think Álfarann is the better choice. I can't wait to hear the full version of this.

What a beautiful duet you two performed. I really love how your voices harmonized, creating that magical moment. I also adore how Icelandic sounds; phonetically, it's such a gorgeous language. And I must say, I had a good laugh at the outtakes at 04:07!

As an guy who is obssesed with Dwarves and Elves.. Álfarann is an easy choice + it sounds nice as a song title 🙂

Absolutely loved that and I can't wait for the song to be published, Patty. By the way - I vote for "Álfarann". It's easier to pronounce and to memorize, at least for me. ;)
