Please note!
Most of our 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. I 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.
Thanks- Cliff, cdRoots

Top Quality Bones And A Little Terrorist - Britta Persson
$17.99
(cdRoots# amigo-2042)
A curious Swedish pop recording (sung in English) by a unique voice with a unusual song writing style. She accompanied by a mostly acoustic ensemble that is equally comfortable with rock, pop and jazz.

Struling - Mats Eden
$17.99
(cdRoots# amigo-eden-struling)
The great Varmland fiddler's first solo recording. It features lots of great solo fiddling from Eden (and a bit of accordion, too), plus ensemble work with a then-as-now all-star cast of musicians: Tina Johansson, Ellika Frisell, Rickard Astrom and Stefan Ekedahl offering percussion, violin, piano and cello. The music runs from strict traditional Swedish tunes to a tribute to Gambian musician Alagi M'Bye. This was cutting edge when it was made, and it is still unique and powerful music all these years later.

live - enteli
$17.99
(cdRoots# amigo-enteli)
Bengt Berger, tabla and percussion, Jonas Knutsson, saxophones and additional percussion, Ale Mandouml;ller, multi instrumentalist, Johan Sandouml;derberg, keyboard maestro and extraordinary singer Lena Willemark. Daring folk -improvisation.

Orustlater - Goran Premberg
$17.99
(cdRoots# amigo-gcd61)
The island of Orust in Bohuslan has a rich tradition of fiddlers and many associations with the British Isles. Goran Premberg has taken this as his starting point on his first solo album, which is entirely devoted to tunes from Orust. The CD is dedicated to David Andersson (1904-1994) with whom Goran managed to spend a few musical summers.

Traditional Swedish music for fiddles and munspel - Thore and Thuva Hardelin
$17.99
(cdRoots# amigo-hardelin)
Finally available again! The Hardelins's fiddles are joined by Anders Olsson (jew's harp) on traditional tunes

Jazzen - Nina Ramsby and Martin Hederos
$16.99
(cdRoots# amigo-jazzen)
Singer Nina Ramsby and pianist Martin Hederos first met in 2000 and began singing casually together. In January 2004 recorded Visorna, a collection of their favorite songs in Swedish. In the spring of 2005 they began work on this new recording, Jazzen, featuring their own unique takes on jazz standards by notable jazz performers like Nina Simone, Billie Holiday, Sade and Betty Carter. Nina has rewritten the lyrics in Swedish, to suit her own needs and experiences. These are bare, sometimes stark performances, mostly simply piano and voice, with occasional string, harmonica, reed and brass punctuations that envelope the voice and allow it room to expand and contract as it needs. They also have 2 original pieces (one song, one instrumental), which to my ear, are some of the best pieces on the CD.

Salta - Salta
$19.99
(cdRoots# amigo-salta)
This Swedish quartet effortlessly skirts the boundaries of jazz, folk and classical music. Ulrika Boden - vocal and flute, Hadrian Prett - violin and viola / Sebastian Printz- Werner- percussion / Risto Holopainen- piano

Den overste Toppen - Spunk
$17.99
(cdRoots# amigo-spunk)
Avant garde? Ambient noise? Gentle musical mayhem? Words fail.

Vagen in (The Way In) - Mats Eden + Tina Quartey
$17.99
(cdRoots# amigo-vagen)
Vägen in presents fiddler Mats Edén and percussionist Tina Quartey in a stunning duet debut. Mats' life-long Värmland traditions and his new interest in neighboring Norwegian melodies is a remarkably intuitive fit for Tina's explorations in Afro-Cuban and Brazilian percussion. With their backgrounds in groundbreaking ensembles like Frifot, Groupa and Filarfolket, it is no surprise that what they deliver is innovative music, challenging and yet deeply rooted in tradition.
