With
the arrival of Danes, new instruments and forms of European-derived music
became famous, such as the accordion, fiddle and the Christian hymns, while
Moravian missionaries brought violins, brass instruments and a tradition of
purely instrumental music. The most powerful Moravian importation, however, was
the polyphonic choir, which has produced renowned modern vocal orchestras such
as Mik.
Kalattuut
(dansemik) is a long standing form of Inuit polka, which produced well-known
songs and virtuoso such as accordion player Louis Andreasen. There is also a
current pattern known as vaigat, which is similar to country music.
