Internationally acclaimed vocal group Windborne is known for the power and innovation of their arrangements, as well as their unrivalled mastery of polyphonic music from a variety of cultures. Their musical knowledge spans many countries and styles, but they remain deeply rooted in American folk singing traditions. The singers educate as they entertain, telling stories about the music and explaining the characteristics of the traditions in which they sing. They are adherents to folk music’s longtime association with social activism, in particular its ties to movements that champion the poor, the working class, and the disenfranchised.
