Folka
17.99
The second recording (2000) from this still young and growing Swedish new-folk ensemble. A harder edge than their first, but also a more mature, less imitative sound. With Folka the band fully comes into its own sound!

| "Lead singer Ulrika Bodén's voice is at the center of it, and it's a powerful instrument. She sings in a sparking soprano with a trace of Maddy Prior's tone color and phrasing. Yet the roller coaster arrangements erected by the rest of the band are far more than mere accompaniment. Using nyckelharpa, willow flute, bouzouki, electric guitar, bass and unexpected touches such as mbira and harmonica, the arrangements are so painterly as to almost negate the need for translation." - Peggy Latkovich, RootsWorld |

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.
