Snaarmaarwaar

For nearly 20 years, the men of Snaarmaarwaar have been touring non-stop across venues and stages both at home and abroad. One guitar, one mandola, and one mandolin. A spare set of strings and a whole lot of passion: that's all they need to ignite the magical live spark with their inspiring tunes time and time again. Their latest album, ‘LYS,’ reflects the winding path their music has taken them on, much like the meandering Leie River between Ghent and Deinze. This album is a ‘retour à la source,’ a rediscovery of the mysterious way their string sounds blend together until you no longer know who is playing which riff or launching which melody. The album was recorded old school in Studio Trad: three men around a microphone, and off they go. On ‘LYS,’ the simplicity and refined string sound they’ve long been known for reign supreme. Let yourself be swept away in the acoustic bath with which these gentlemen will fill the room—and your heart. Don’t miss the magical festival finale with Snaarmaarwaar on Sunday!
