Villads Hoffmann - Dansen Ungdom (live from my father's violin workshop)

I love playing music in my father's violin workshop. The scent of wood and the resonance from the many instruments around feels quite special.
In January, I dropped by the workshop with my good friend and talented photographer Ivan Boll. He filmed some of the music from my latest solo album. Here, I play my favorite slängpolska from Sweden - "Dansen Ungdom."

This is just so peaceful. Thank you. Reminds me a bit of Andy McKee's style. Such a cool instrument. I wish more people knew about it and a performer like Villads is just the guy to make the citern a better known instrument.

[@VilladsHoffmann]

wow, thanks for the kind words! So nice to hear ☺🙏

[@AaronStanczak]

Absolutely gorgeous! I love octave mando in bluegrass and Irish folk but this style is also incredibly cool. This is the first time I''ve heard slängpolska, mind blown.

[@VilladsHoffmann]

Thanks a lot! Slängpolska is probably my favourite melody type / dance from scandinavia. So nice to hear that you like it! ☺

Would love to build a cittern like that sometime in the future! Excellent production and playing

[@VilladsHoffmann]

Thanks a lot! So happy to hear that you like the sound and my playing. And cool that you are inspired to build a cittern. Hope you'll do that one day.

Hi! I Love your music. I am also really captivated by your pleasant countenance. You look like you love your cittern. As a Bouzouki player I can relate.
Will this album be on UA-cam Music anytime soon? I don’t have Spotify 🥲

[@VilladsHoffmann]

Thanks a lot, yellow jacket! Really happy to hear that you like my music. 🙏🙏 hehe yea, i really fell in love with this instrument.
I think that the music already is on UA-cam music, at least should be. Try and search for my name Villads Hoffmann. ☺

Such a awesome tune Villads❤ can you or anybody else tell me which tuning this is?

[@VilladsHoffmann]
