cd cover Pelle Björnlert
Fors
$17.99

Bob Dylan, Pelle Fors and Bengt Löfberg are three musicians who have meant a lot to Östergötland fiddler Pelle Björnlert. Dylan aroused interest in the young Björnlert for making his own music. The 60s folk song craze paved the way for the folk music wave of the 70s: fiddles replaced guitars. Pelle Fors (1815-1908) was a legendary fiddler in Östergötland. The Hellström brothers at Vikbolandet played his tunes so Pelle Björnlert could at least achieve some kind of direct contact. Smålander Bengt Löfberg had already begun to root around in his local musical treasures before Pelle Björnlert. In Bengt, Pelle found both a teacher and a musical companion. Three role models, but Pelle soon made his own name on the basis of his personal way of playing with a catchy dance rhythm. Here he makes a musical round up, while, at the same time, he sees this as a starting point, with new discoveries to be made in the world of fiddles and polskas.

Please note!
Most CDs have been imported from Europe or Asia. They are not all shrink-wrapped, and I am not going to con you by wrapping them here just to make you think they have been sterilized in America. We guarantee that the CDs and the contents are all brand new and in perfect condition. Whenever I can, I use recycled shipping materials. They may not look as pretty on the outside, but they save money and keep the trash dumps a little bit emptier.
