Frifot: new folk from Sweden

Browse

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.

Here are some recordings by Frifot and it's members

Frifot - Sluring (US edition) - $15.99
(cdRoots# ns-sluring)
Yet another amazing recording by one of Sweden's most impressive and important ensembles: Per Gudmundson, Lena Willemark and Ale Moller. Their 2003 release is as stunning as the rest, all acoustic and masterfully performed. The US release includes a video performance

Frifot - Flyt - $temp out of stock-18.99
(cdRoots# amigo-frifot07)
The super-group of Nordic roots music returns in 2007 with another fantastic release. Per Gudmundson, Ale Möller and Lena Willemark pretty well define the new folk-movement in Sweden, and this release finds them returning to a rougher, rootsier sound. Highly recommended.

Mats Eden + Tina Quartey - Vagen in (The Way In) - $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.

Folk Music in Sweden series, volume 3 - Traditional Folk Music - $17.99
(cdRoots# cda-fmis-3)
A survey of the whole breadth of Swedish folk music. Many of the recordings were made in the field - from 1942 onwards - in the summer pastures and in the homes of folk musicians and singers. Others reflect the Swedish folk music of the present day, partly in traditional form and partly in the vigorous mixture of musical styles developed during recent years. Among those contributing are Karin Edwards, Pelle Jakobsson, Eric Sahlström, Gössa Anders, Pål Olle, Susanne Rosenberg, Per Gudmundson and Marie Selander as well as folk music groups Norrlåtar, Väsen, Frifot and Hedningarna

Moller, Willemark and Gudmundson - Frifot - $17.99

The first recording by this trio, from 1990, is still considered one fo the classic of the new-folk movement.
