We have travelled far and wide to find the most beautiful, enthralling and mysterious songs, melodies and stories, to take you on a journey to far away islands, deep forests and magical gardens.
We live in Albuquerque, New Mexico, but are happy to tour all through the country.
Johanna Hongell-Darsee; vocals, flute, storytelling; and Scott Darsee, guitar, vocals, will take you on a journey of Ballads and Runes, Myths and Legends.
The art of singing and storytelling is universal and as ancient as humanity; our dreams of a distant common past. Stories and songs travel and have always traveled. On their way they pick up bits and pieces of different cultures and landscapes but the heroes and heroines, the villains and the mysterious creatures often stay familiar.
"Highlight of the 2009-2010 Season Johanna Hongell-Darsee, who was born in Finland, regaled an audience of children and their parents with riddles, ballads and a story from the Kalevala. An exquisite performer, she uses voice, song, harp, and Bharatnatyam dance to enhance her varied and beautiful program." (Diane Wolkstein for Scandinavian House, NY)
"Fabulous program! You couldn’t hear a pin drop (over 80 ladies in attendance). Johanna’s voice and Scott’s music transported you to another time and place. We will happily recommend them to future events and look forward to seeing them again." (Four Hills Neighbors, Albuquerque, NM)
"I have seen Scott and Johanna perform in several places and I knew that their program would be wonderful to have at our library. Their style is unique and extremely polished, and the storytelling is suited to a wide audience - we had everyone from young children to senior citizens, and all were rapt. Several people gave Scott ans Johanna special thanks for the show." (Loma Colorado main Library, Rio Rancho, NM)
