Enekk plays original music and new arrangements of traditional Faroese tunes together with the Bulgarian folk musicians Valeri Dimchev and Dragomir Dimov. A blend of Faroese and Bulgarian tonality, rhythm and tempo. Enekk certainly seems to strive towards a viable unity between the various aspects of their music, and their attempt to build musical bridges between different traditions is a success. Jón Thorsteinsson, Fjølnir, Sept. 97.
