Groupa is a progressive folk band hailing from Scandinavia, renowned for their innovative approach to traditional Nordic music. Their genesis dates back to the early 1980s, a period that saw them at the forefront of the folk music scene, blending the old with new techniques and sounds. Groupa's music is characterized by a deep respect for the old melodies and rhythms of Scandinavia while infusing them with a modern, improvisational twist that incorporates influences from jazz and other contemporary genres.

Over the years, Groupa has embarked on a musical journey through their "Kind of Folk" series, which showcases their ability to explore and reinterpret the folk music of different regions while maintaining their distinct sound. Recent releases such as "Kind of Folk, Vol. 4 Iberia" and "Kind of Folk, Vol. 3: Iceland" see them venturing beyond their Nordic roots, embracing the traditional sounds of other cultures while still infusing them with Groupa's unique style. With these explorations, the band continues to redefine the boundaries of folk music, creating a sound that is at once both familiar and boldly avant-garde. Their release "Silent Folk" and its subsequent "Crussen Remix" epitomize their blend of organic acoustic elements with modern electronic textures, further illustrating the band's ever-evolving and dynamic musical narrative.
