Harpens KraftThis is one for the traditionalist listener, with an ensemble that focuses on the folk roots and avoids the fronds. While some will find the recordings a bit 'stiff,' others will welcome the straight-ahead, dance oriented approach the band takes. Using nyckelharpa, violin, hardingfele, guitar, keyboards, church organ, bass kantele and other traditional instruments, from Denmark, Harpens Kraft revive the old ways without apology.

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.
