Chain dances, known as víkivaki, have been performed in Iceland since the 11th century at a variety of occasions, such as in churches and during the Christmas season. An example is "Ólafur Liljurós", an Icelandic víkivaki folk song dating to the 14th century, about a man who, while on his way to meet his mother, is seduced, kissed, and stabbed by an elf woman while riding his horse, then eventually dies.

Vikivaki is a fascinating mixture of joy and sorrow, humour and tragedy, folklore and fantasy. lt is the music of ice and fire - pure Icelandic music. Guests at a typical Icelandic get-together are bound to hear the natives sing these songs recorded here on Vikivaki.
