cd cover Erika and Cecilia (Erika Lindgren and Cecilia Österholm)
Örhänge ()

The artists say:
The word Örhänge is best described as an evergreen – a song that is never forgotten. The tunes and songs here are precious to us. They bring back dear memories of people we have met and places we have visited. We met in 2002 and we hit it off musically right away and have since then played together in many different venues in Sweden and abroad. We come from the same region, Uppland, and most of the music we play comes from there. This is our second CD. The first came in 2004 and is called Pärlor (Pearls). Erika Lindgren plays the fiddle. She grew up in Vendel, north of Uppsala. At the age of 20 and at that time the youngest, she was honored with the title of "National Fiddler" (Riksspelman). In 1999 she got the Viksta-Lasse scholarship and in 2004 the Pekkos-Gustaf scholarship. Cecilia Österholm plays the nyckelharpa. She comes from Östhammar, in the north of Uppland, where the nyckelharpa has been played for centuries.

Le mot Suedois, Örhänge, veut dire une chanson qui ne vieillit jamais. Les airs et les chansons de ce CD nous tiennent très à cœur. Ils sont liés à des souvenirs et des rêves sur des lieux et des personnes que nous avons rencontrés et qui ont une grande importance pour nous. Quant à nous-mêmes, nous nous sommes rencontrés il y a cinq ans (en 2002) et sommes devenus immédiatement des âmes sœurs musicales.

Erika Lindgren joue du violon et a grandi à Vendel, un petit village au nord d’Uppsala. En 1998 elle est nommée Riksspelman. (ménétrier national du royaume de Suède). En 1999 elle a reçu la bourse de Viksta-Lasse et en 2004 le prix d’honneur du Pekkos-Gustaf. Cecilia Österholm est originaire d’Östhammar, dans le nord de la province d’Uppland. Elle joue du nyckelharpa, une sorte de vielle suédoise. En outre, elle a enseigné la musique à l’institut Eric Sahlström, Institut National de Nyckelharpa et Musique Traditionnelle Suédoise, et aussi à l’Université d’Uppsala.

Låtarna och visorna här ligger oss nära om hjärtat. De bär på minnen om platser och personer vi mött och som betytt mycket för oss. Vi möttes 2002, och det sa klick direkt musikaliskt. Vår första skiva Pärlor utkom 2004.

Erika Lindgren har växt upp i Vendel, norra Uppland. Hon spelar fiol och blev riksspelman 1998, tilldelades Viksta-Lassestipendiet 1999 och Pekkos-Gustafs hederspris 2004. Cecilia Österholm kommer från Östhammar i norra Roslagen. Vid sidan av sitt spel på nyckelharpa har hon undervisat i musik på Eric Sahlström Institutet och på Uppsala universitet.
