Two of my favourite bands and a very sympathetic collaboration. Eluveitie can be quite heavy on the screaming side but they mostly sing about old Celtic stories - here at the end they were singing in Welsh (Swiss band) to compliment the German sung by Faun.
I was about to suggest this song, but then found you'd already done it. 🙂 I love both Faun and Eluveitie, and having them together is a joy. Another top one from Faun is "Odin" featuring Einar Selvik of Wardruna. A favourite of mine from Eluveitie is "Ategnatos". They say it "el-VAY-tee", by the way. The U is silent. And Faun rhymes with Brown.
Great video! Thanks for reviewing Faun with Eluveitie (two of my favorites). BTW, Eluveitie is pronounced "el-VAY-tee." Although there are bagpipes in the song, they are not that prominent. It's actually a hurdy gurdy that you're hearing. It's the instrument that the guy is holding and turning a crank/wheel. It's a stringed instrument, with keys, and the strings rub against the rotating, rosined wheel for sound (like a bow does for violin strings). The hurdy gurdy is an ancient instrument that dates from the medieval period.
The old man in the video is a very famous scientist in Germany and the US. He wrote several Books about cultures and nature .His name is Wolfgang Dieter Storl. He is a cultural anthropologist and ethnobotanist who runs biodynamic agriculture on his farm in the Allgäu and runs a TH-cam channel. He has taught at several American universities as a lecturer, such as Kent State and Ohio University
Hey, thanks for the information on Wolfgang Dieter Storl. He made a great Gwydion, indeed! I just subscribed to his channel. He sounds like a fascinating guy.
Gwydion was an enchanter/wizard in Welsh mythology. The story goes that he awoke the trees the fight against forces of darkness ...or something like that. Faun are firmly rooted in European folklore/mythology and history for their source material and inspiration.
Medieval masterpiece sound.
Thank you for watching with us.
Thanks for your reaction to this song, these European folk bands deserve more love🤝🏻
We really enjoyed it. Thank you for watching and commenting.
Faun have gone a long way. I always enjoyed hearing them on mediveal fairs here in germany for about 20 years.

@@Mossy-Rock Yes he is. I learned a lot from him during my training as gardener about plants and herbs.
Gwydion was a great sorcerer/druid in welsh/celtic mythology .
