Sara Parkman

A concert by Sara Parkman, a Swedish folk musician, singer and writer, at Cafe OTO in Dalston, London, a venue that mainly hosts free jazz and experimental music.

Sara Parkman is a Swedish folk musician, singer and writer who performs traditional music. Born in 1989 in Skön, Sweden, Parkman released the debut album Sara Parkmans skog in 2016. Described as a violinist, singer and composer with a career of more than 15 years, Parkman has received a Swedish Grammy and several other awards.

The music is presented as blending tradition with bold innovation, moving between sacred and raw material and between rural and urban settings. The evening is presented by Baba Yaga's Hut, and Parkman is described as continuing to push the artistic and emotional depths of the music with each new project.

Cafe OTO is a restaurant and bar in Dalston, London, which mainly hosts free jazz and experimental music, including free improvisation. This folk and traditional programme is therefore set within a venue whose usual concerts follow a different musical tradition.
