For almost 20 years now, Snaarmaarwaar have been touring stages, concert halls and dance
floors in Belgium and abroad. One guitar, one mandola, one mandolin, a set of spare strings and
the immense joy of playing together: nothing more needed to lift the audience with their inspiring
tunes and magical live vibe.
To date, the trio have released 4 albums and have played stages all across Europe and beyond:
Nanjing Jazz and World Festival (China), Festival des Luthiers et Maîtres Sonneurs (FR),
Gennetines Festival (FR), Dranouter Festival (BE), TFF Rudolstadt (DE), Kaustinen Folk Music
Festival (FIN), Mandopolis (FR), Viljandi Folk Music Festival (EE), Sunrise Celebration (UK)...
Their new record is called “LYS” and it tells the story of the capricious and beautiful roads they
have been walking with their music, exactly like the eponymous river that takes a sometimes lively,
sometimes meandering course between Belgium and France. For the recording of the album at
Studio Trad they went back to basics: three guys, ready to play, gathered around one microphone.
What you see is what you get. It felt like going back to their roots: a rediscovery of the mysterious
way their unique sounds blend together; a point where it’s impossible to tell who’s playing which
line and who’s launching the next melody. It has also been a rediscovery of the deep warmth and
the resonating colours of their instruments and the magnificent mastery of the luthiers that spent a
lifetime crafting their art. In contrast to their earlier album, B.L.O.C.K - where they used all
possibilities in the recording studio, imagining wide arrangements and lots of overdubs - for “LYS”
they chose to focus on absolute clarity, putting the spotlight on the purified sound of the sparkling
strings they love so much. Sit down, open your ears and your heart, this music is like a warm
blanket ready to comfort you.
