Multe Music
Exploring the roots, shoots and fruits of Scandinavian and Nordic traditions
Multe Music takes its name from the Scandinavian root word for cloudberry, the rare slow-growing sub-arctic bramble fruit found throughout the Nordic countries. A wild plant, it needs sunny exposure and grows in acidic ground where other crops are not possible. The taste is both tart and sweet — like life itself. That's Multe Music

The instruments played on this recording include fiddles, shawms, bagpipes, harp and drums, and this recording also introduces the Varend drum - a unique Swedish folk music instrument.

Swedish Pastoral Music - The Magical Songs of the Forests - $18.99
(cdRoots# cda-krcd28)
Whereas KRCD-26 covered the diversity and richness of the music of one parish, the present record makes it possible to study both the simliarities and differences by getting to know herding calls from other parts of the country. The aim has been to include as many as possible of the oldest known recordings.

General - $16.99
(cdRoots# talik-17)
From Oppdal and Lalm in Norway, this fine quartet of accordions, fiddle and bass moves in a similar circle to Finland's JPP, playing traditional dance music with new energy, verve and a bit of humor. There's no fusion or flash, just solid musicianship offered for the simple joy of playing the tunes. A short bonus video shows off that humorous side.

Bla koral - $19.99
(cdRoots# kkv-106)
Knut Reiersrud and Iver Kleive's Blå Koral (Blue Choral) features Knut's earthbound guitars coupled with Iver's pipe organ in a meeting between the religious European organ tradition and Norwegian and American folk tradition, where salms and folk melodies are performed in unorthodox, unprejudiced and free interpretations. 'A thoroughly interconnected musical triumph' said PULS and 'deserves tremendous words of praise' (Dagbladet). The album earned them the Spellemannsprisen in 1991
