Naragonia Quartet - Nehalennia

Het Naragonia Quartet is a recipe that has resulted in powerful folk music for 20 years and has meanwhile become a staple within the European folk scene. The quartet makes music without compromises that goes straight to the heart, independent of all conventions. The search for beauty and swing is central. The rest is secondary, and they remain ever faithful to that. Strong melodies with a refined, solid energy, quirky and yet very recognizable, that is “the sound of Naragonia”. With their enchanting compositions and warm timbres, they know how to touch the audience time and again. They inspired numerous other musicians and groups, and several of their songs have grown into true standards in the folk scene that are played from Verenigde Staten to Sweden, from Great Britain to Portugal… Welcome to one of “Belgian’s best kept secrets”, as German journalist Elcoo Schelder put it. Naragonia rightly won the award for \"Best live band\" for the Flanders Folk Awards in 2024. You can find a lot of viewing and listening material via their website.
