Luftstrak - Siska
Maria Kalaniemi, Sven Ahlbäck and Johan Hedin are Luftstråk, a trio of
violin, nyckelharpa and accordion that explores their Swedish and
Finnish traditions to make new and creative music.

Svanevit - Rikedom och gåvor
The second recording by this wonderful Swedish ensemble, Anders
Larsson mandola, vocals; Maria Larsson fiol, härjedalspipa; Anna
Rynefors nyckelharpa, Swedish säckpipa (bagpipe), slagverk; Erik
Ask-Upmark harp, säckpipas, härjedalspipa, offerdalspipa, mungiga

Anna Palina and Draupner - Sagnadans
Icelandic vocalist Anna Palina Arnadottir and the Swedish folk group
Draupner come together to present the traditional ballads of Iceland,
accompanied by percussionist and arranger Petur Gretarsson. All
acoustic, but powerful renditions of these unique and little heard
folk songs, which the Icelandic call 'story dances' or sagndans.

Erik Ask-Upmark - Himlens polska
Multi-instrumentalist Erik Ask-Upmark discovered the harp through a
long-lasting love affair with Irish music bu he is now one of the
leading Nordic music performers on the instrument and this is the
first album ever featuring exclusively Swedish folk music on solo
harp. Erik has earned the official title of "Riksspelman" (Master
musician of the Realm). He also plays the Baroque double harp (Arpa
doppia) with ensembles such as Concerto Copenhagen and Ensemble Mare
Balticum. He performs early music and Nordic roots music both as a
soloist and with his groups Svanevit, Dråm and Falsobordone.

Maria Jonsson, Ian Carr, Mikael Marin - Timber!
Jonsson, Carr and Marin play new Swedish folkmusic in new ways that
never lose sight of the tradition. Meeting and jamming occasionally
during the last ten years, Maria Jonsson (Slatta, Carina Normansson)
Ian Carr (SWÅP, Kate Rusby) and Mikael Marin (Väsen) finally got
together in the spring of 2007 to record a record of both newly
written and traditional Swedish instrumental music.

Kersti Ståbi - Ute blåser sommarvind
Kersti Ståbi sings the songs of Alice Tegnér, the Swedish icon of
children's music, accompanied by the folk trio Nordic (Anders Löfberg
on cello, Erik Rydvall on nyckelharpa and Magnus Zetterlund on
mandolin and munspel.)

Lars Karlsson - 1983-1993
A collection from earlier productions by the Swedish diatonic
accordionist Lars Karlsson includes tradtional and newly composed folk
music, as well as some surprises (like Hank William's "Jambalya")

Jonas Knutsson and Horn Please - Horn Please! - $17.99
Swedish folk and horn music on six saxophones, bass and percussion.Led
by saxophonist/composer/arranger Jonas Knutsson, some of the prominent
younger Swedish folk musicians are presented in music that goes from
the traditional to the newly composed, and from the strictly arranged
to the wildly improvised. The horn players: Alexandra Särström, Å sa
Johansson, Hanna Wiskari, Klas Toresson, Daniel Carlsson; plus Bengt
Jonasson and Petter Berndalen on bass and percussion. Compositions by
Knutsson and traditional music from different parts of Sweden and
South India. Highly recommended
