During World War II, the prodigious composer Else Marie Pade, now celebrated for her pioneering electronic compositions, crafted a captivating series of seemingly modest melodies. Yet, beneath their surface lay the profound reverberations of a nation plunged into the depths of darkness and despair. Engaged in the Danish resistance against the brutal German occupation, Pade found herself confined within the stark confines of Frøslev Camp in Southern Jutland—a bastion erected by Danish valor to shield internees from the harrowing specter of German concentration camps.
Now, in a poignant union of talents, the Danish Folk band and the mesmerizing jazz vocalist Kira Martini come together to breathe new life into Pade's tranquil schlager compositions. Their collaboration promises to infuse these timeless melodies with a poignant and evocative resonance, offering a stirring tribute to Pade's indomitable spirit and the resilient soul of wartime Denmark.
