Podcast 158: Christmas 2012



This week, we talk to Hjalti Bogason and Bogi Godtfred. Bogi has translated ten Christmas songs in Faroese, and Hjalti sang them. The result of this father/son collaboration can be heard on a lush new album that was recently released in the Faroe Islands.

We'll talk to Hjalti and Bogi about the process of putting the album together, and about Christmastime in the Faroes. Then we'll hear a little music.
