Daap (meaning "baptism") plays old, Nordic hymns and folk music from 1600-1700, transformed into rock and world.
The group comes from a small town, Vadsø, in Northeastern, Arctic Norway.
The town has throughout the history been housing the indegionous Saami people, Norwegian settlers, Finnish immigrants and Russian traders.
This, and the religious movement of the North-Nordic preacher Lästadius has made an important impact on the people of the town.
Now the small town is represented by over 50 different nationalities and cultures. Among them, lots of refugees.
Both the history and the present culture is what Daap want to reflect. We have used a strange combination of Nordic hymns, Congolesian songs and rhythms and 70-influented rock.
We have been using different musicians, from Hammond-rockers to a Congolesian singer/percussionist.
The Finnish immigrants from the 1800 developed their own kind of Finnish language, called "kvensk" in this Arctic area. This language is now forgotten in many places.
The singer of Daap does not understand Finnish, but uses the language in some songs as he has been learned.
Also, the languages in the songs are many; Norwegian, Swedish, Finnish, Congolesian and french.
The instruments on the recordings are an old pump organ, Hammondorgan, analog synth, guitars, drums, bass and vocals.

Let us Introduce to you, the Music and give you some Info over our upcoming album Ugochill - Theory of Relaxivity. It took three years to complete this Album, mostly here in our Ugochill Studio, here in Amsterdam, the Netherlands. Adding to that, we had recorded Drums and some of the Guitars in France as well. Ambition was to , patiently and in steps record and produce variety of Songs which are very much representing, musically and emotionally all these various people from various places and backgrounds involved in making of the Album. Music has been made freely without any pressure, and without having to deal with stress of having to make it, we gave the Songs and Project enough time to naturally grow into one strong Album that we are all proud off.
good day to you my beautiful friend, how goes out here in space....
