Hallo! Ich komme aus Großbritannien und neulich war ich in einem Plattendiscounter und habe dieses Album für nur 1 £ gekauft. Mir gefällt, wie es klingt, besonders gefallen mir die Titel 1, 3, 5, 6, 7, 8 und 10. Die Lieder sind sehr eingängig, auch wenn ich die Texte nicht verstehe.
Ich habe mich gefragt, ob jemand in Island mehr über dieses Album oder die Band weiß, die es gemacht hat. Sind sie in Island beliebt/bekannt? Was ist ihre Geschichte? Machen sie jetzt noch Musik? Für jede Information über sie wäre ich sehr dankbar, und auf jeden Fall gut gemacht mit der großartigen Musik! Alles Liebe <3

The band is Ríó Tríó, one of the most famous Icelandic bands of all time. Some of the members have passed away
Very famous in Iceland. One of my dads favorites. The man holding the contrabass was murdered by his own son some years back. The man in centre passed away recently. His son is active in the music scene.
Snorri Helgason or Sprengjuhöllin, can look that up for the son.
I’m not an expert but I grew up knowing them and have always liked their music so here’s something:
Ríó Tríó started as a folk-trio in the 60s and were quite popular from the start and well into the 70s. This iteration is from their ‚comeback‘ in the 80s, and features one of Iceland’s most beloved songwriters of the late 20th century, Gunnar Þórðarson, who had previously worked with the band behind the scenes.
Their lyrics are widely considered among the best in Icelandic music history, a lot of them putting a humorous spin on tough subjects.
Fun fact: Helgi Pétursson (red shirt on this cover) was voted the sexiest man in Iceland in the 70s and had a prominent media career in the 80s and 90s.
