The record label says:
Rhythmic, danceable and playful music, with tunes from Östergötland, Småland, Öland and Gotland. The recordings show the result of many years of obstinate struggle to find the optimal concord between dance and music. Bengt Löfberg (fiddle), Pelle Björnlert (fiddle) and Erik Pekkari (zither, two-row accordion, fiddle) have recaptured a tradition by travelling two roads at once. One leading back to the music of forgotten, yet intriguing, spelmän. The other road pointing forward. Bengt, Pelle and Erik foster and develop the tradition working with great respect for the values they have uncovered during their search backward in time.
| " ... merges a formal, almost classical dance sensibility with an energy and occasional wit that few traditional musicians ever find. They present a distinct contrast to the modal, throbbing "spelmans" style, with rich melodies and chord changes, sometimes exaggerated rhythms and unique, often complicated arrangements. Pekkari offers further innovations to the tradition with his personal style of zither playing..." - CF, RootsWorld |

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.
