| Björk Guðmundsdóttir |
Adding to the list of new and profound acts to make an
appearance at Bonnaroo Music and Arts Festival 2013 is the Norwegian sensation
from Reykjavik, Iceland, Björk Guðmundsdóttir.
Björk’s music is wildly exotic and has covered all genres of music from
folk and acappella to electronic dance music and punk in her thirty or so years
being a solo artist. The common factor between all of her styles is the
overlaying of her amazing voice that resonates over whatever beat is being played
with it. The most striking of Bjork’s
set at Bonnaroo Music Festival was her on stage attire.
She was dressed in a very odd dress and her entire head was surrounded
on all sides by thousands of six inch long needles. Musically, Bjork’s set at Bonnaroo contained
a wide variety of styles of music, and was accompanied by a group of twelve
background singers/performers. Her
choice of songs came from throughout her career, and included “Hyperballad,”
“Crystalline,” and “Pagan Poetry.”
Appearances in the US are quite rare for a European sensation such as Björk
Guðmundsdóttir, so she was sure to satisfy her army of fans present to watch
her show.
