Hanus Johansen singing Poems by Poul F. Joensen in Stóra Pakkhús in Vágur, Suðuroy, Faroe Islands
Hanus G. Johansen is a Faroese singer, composer and guitar player from Klaksvík. He has composed melodies for many poems by Poul F. Joensen, who was a famous poet from Sumba, living most of his life in the village Froðba in Suðuroy, Faroe Islands. Hanus made the poems of Poul F. (as he normally is called) available also for people who don't read poems. He made an album in 1988, which he called: "Gaman og álvara - Hanus syngur Poul F."
This photo was taken in Stóra Pakkhús in Vágur on the 20th of March 2010 at a consert with Hanus G. Johansen. It was a very good consert. He was with his very special and in the Faroe Islands well known voice, playing his guitar. Sometimes he sang without any instruments, very good. Hanus has composed many melodies for poems by not only Poul F. but also by Janus Djurhuus, Hans Andrias Djurhuus, Tummas Napoleon Djurhuus and others. He has also composed melodies for poems by the Norwegian poem Jakob Sande, he sang one poem by Sande at the consert in Stóra Pakkhús.
Hanus has been singing with Faroese bands like Frændur and Aldubáran.
