Faun is a German band formed in the early 1990s that performs music rooted in neo-medieval, folk and world music traditions. Their repertoire blends acoustic instruments such as hurdy-gurdy, bagpipes, lutes and flutes with modern elements like bass and percussion, and features multilingual vocals in German, English and older languages including Latin and Middle High German. Known for combining historical melodies, traditional folk songs and original compositions, Faun emphasizes atmospheric arrangements and ritualistic, pastoral themes that evoke pre-modern European musical practices. The group has been active across the late 20th and early 21st centuries, recording albums and touring internationally within folk and alternative music scenes.
