Benjamin Rajani – The Persistent Songwriter

One of the most persistent songwriters in the Faroe Islands these days is undoubtedly Benjamin Rajani.

You can’t scroll through social media without seeing him asking all sorts of questions—about the meaning of words, how to refine a lyric, or what makes a song truly great. For four whole years, he has been searching with a flashlight for the perfect words to describe his observations and emotions.

In March, he will release his full-length album Tá hvørt ljós líkist tær ("When Every Light Resembles You"), featuring new songs like Royni enn at gloyma ("Still Trying to Forget"), Mánakvøld ("Monday Night"), and Lívsins balkong ("The Balcony of Life"). This is an album we can’t wait to hear in full—and, not least, to experience live when Benjamin Rajani performs at G! Festival 2025, backed by a solid band.

Normally, we reveal one name from the G! 2025 lineup every Tuesday, but this week is Spæl Føroyskt (Play Faroese) week, where we focus entirely on Faroese artists—announcing a new name every day. Look forward to Hallur Joensen, Marius DC, Beinir, Benjamin Rajani, and many more.

G! Festival takes place July 17–19, 2025. You have to be there!
