Nåra is Gunnel Mauritzson, Björn Ståbi, Bengan Janson, an ensemble which got together in the autumn of 1997. These three musicians have created distinctive images for themselves over the years in their different fields. Together, they have found a new mutual path that compliments each musician's strengths. Their music is rooted in Swedish folk music, and performed in a very personal way and with great warmth. This is their first CD as a group.

Gunnel Mauritzson, vocal, tin whistle, spoons
Björn Ståbi, fiddle, vocal
Bengan Janson, accordion, vocal
Roger Tallroth participates in track 2 (octave mandola), and in track 6 (Twelve-string guitar).

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.
