Riverfest Elora 2019: Day 2: Reykjavíkurdætur (Daughters of Reykjavik) - Concert Photos

Sometimes there’s a performance that you’re recommended not to miss. Reykjavíkurdætur’s performance on the Wax on Wheels stage at Riverfest Elora was one of those performances. They are, of course, from Iceland, and their name translates to Daughters of Reykjavik. I got to the stage early and couldn’t tear myself away (apologies to the band on the Koop Stage at this time).

I don’t want to give too much of the performance away, but, suffice to say, Reykjavíkurdætur puts on a performance that I’d recommend you see and experience first hand. They play with stereotypes and generalizations in a playful and constructive way. They have a great time performing and they get the audience fully involved. The music is energetic and fun, the lyrics sung and spat in Icelandic but with an intensity and flow so cool you won't mind. I’m glad I stuck around for the full performance and I give thanks for the strong recommendation I received. And I got champagne in my eye. That’s a new one!

Please give their music a listen and if you have the chance to deserve them live, please do.
