I know 5 people from various walks of life who are all in Iceland right now – if you know anything about me or have read anything on this blog, you know that Iceland is where I’d rather be right now too.
So for today’s Music Monday, I made a playlist of 21 songs by contemporary Icelandic artists (some in English, some in Icelandic), and are songs that I think really capture a lot of the Icelandic cultural and music scene.
