Album Info
It may have caused disruption to millions, but for one cult Icelandic singer-songwriter, the ‘Eyjafjallajökull’ volcano has led to an explosion of interest in her music.Eliza Geirsdottir Newman has become a surprise YouTube sensation with over 200,000 hits after composing a song to help people pronounce the ‘Eyjafjallajökull’ glacier where the infamous Icelandic volcano took place.
Earlier this month Eliza Geirsdottir Newman was asked to appear live from the UK on the global news network Al Jazeera News. She explained how to pronounce the name of the glacier at the heart of the international news story. Eliza decided that the best way of helping English speakers get to grips with the name was to compose a song in homage to the volcano. Armed with her ukulele she sang a song which has fast become an Internet phenomenon: (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tEEXY6HrQ6Y ).
Al Jazeera have described the news piece featuring Eliza’s eccentric song as their most talked about story in recent times. The feature has catapulted her to fame and led to enquiries from all over the world.
