Hi! I was attending a nice concert at saturday, Ulrika Bodén was in town with support from Jens Engelbrecht (Ranarim) and Anders Stake/Norudde (Hedningarna)....
For me it was Garmarna's "Vittrad" -- though I had heard the odd bits of Folk & Rackare & Groupa before that, they did not rip the top of my head off as...
I too am glad to see this group revived. Interestingly, it was Vittad by Garmarna that really got me into this wonderful genre of music. I had previously loved...
... That was a stunner. I first heard the band at a bar in Finland, at a festival that took place all over a little town whose name eludes me right now. I sat...
Stunning as I found Garmarna to be, it was first Wimme Saari that got me so into the Nordic music that I am majoring in Scandinavian Studies here at UW...
Mine was "Nordic Roots: 2" that my mom managed to find at Walmart or something. Popped it in the CD player, said "Hey! This is cool! Not like classical, not...
I have to differ between my first nordic record and my first modern nordic record. I was listening to nordic - or basically Swedish music since I was a child....
My first Scandinavian albums were Garmarna's "Guds Spelemen" and Vaesen's "Spirit". I don't really remember which one I got first (I got them both the week of...
For me it was definitely Tra by Hedningarna. I had first heard and watched the performance of Ruth McKenzie's Kalevala, but Tra moved the earth under my feet....
The firsts for me were widely separated in time I was a devottee of the "Swedish Fiddlers" recording that came out many many years ago on Shanachie. I was...
My first exposure came through Green Linnet who, about a dozen years or so ago, had delved into some music from Scandinavia. I had ordered three Irish CD's...
In the very early 90s I heard a compilation of various nordic bands including Groupa, but it was only when I heard Garmarna's 'Vittrad' and Hedningarna's...
My first experience with Nordic music was a live Vasen concert in 2000. It was then, and remains, the best live performance I have ever seen - and I've seen...

Another victim of Garmarna's "Vittrad," here. I won a copy, as well as two concert tickets, in a call-in thing on Radio K (University of MN radio station),...

I was - tragically - only able to attend one concert, so I chose the finale. The sound of a hurdy gurdy in a room is like rich, dark hot chocolate. Hurdy Gurdy...
Wow, sounds like it was fabulous! I was really disappointed to learn that they'd pushed it back to the last weekend in September because that is my college's...
No doubt about it. We who love this music are a very special and devoted bunch. Let the rest of the world think us crazy. We know the excitement of fresh and...
My first nordic recording I believe was Trä from Hedningarna in the middle of 90s. There was a program in spanish national radio, I believe it goes on, which...
