Об исполнителе:

Greenlandic choir based in Copenhagen, Denmark, formed in December 1961 by Danmarks Radio program secretary Knud Wissum. In 1961, after finishing a two year assignment with Radio Greenland, Wissum was asked to form a folkloristic group of young Greenlanders who could represent Denmark at the San Remo Flower Festival, Italy, in January 1962. MIK proved to be a notable succes and moved rapidly on from an eight members group with a fiddler into a performing group of twenty-two accompanied by Henry Hansens Spillemandskvartet, a well known Danish quartet. MIK has existed continuously and was officially organized as a private association 2008 to 2019. Among the leaders are Walter Jensen. From the start MIK consisted of young Greenlanders studying in Copenhagen. It was at the time unique even in a global context and attracted much attention not only by its performances throughout Denmark, but also internationally through radio, TV, and its records. After Italy MIK made appearences in France, Germany, Sweden and Norway. The high points with Knud Wissum as conductor were its performances at the New York World Fair in 1964 and the 1965 tour of Greenland.
