on September 14th 1946, there was a referendum in the Faroe Islands. The people voted yes to independence from Denmark. But the Danes refused, and independence never happened.

This is our gift to the Faroe Islands on this anniversary:

A song of resistance and freedom, performed at the historical site of Tinganes, the place where the Faroese people have gathered to make their own laws for a 1000 years.

Congratulations!

Lyrics: Vegard Bangsund, Music: Erik Stifjell, Translation to Faroese: Sunnuva Bæk, Dance: Vár Bech Árting
Location: Tinganes in Tórshavn, site of one of the oldest parliaments in the world, the Faroese Løgtingið
