Nordic Tradition Records








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.
Thanks- Cliff, cdRoots

 Epilog - Rojas Jonas $temp out of stock-18.99 (cdRoots# cda-nt04)
Röjås Jonas (1921-1989) from Boda in Dalarna was one of the greatest fiddlers in the history of Swedish traditional music. He passed away in 1989 but even today, almost 20 years later, he remains an important influence for many fiddlers in Sweden. Now, finally, the first full-length album featuring Röjås Jonas is released on the label Nordic Tradition. Most of the material on the CD was recorded by Jonas himself during the early 70's, just before the big folk music burst, and it's a testament to the legacy of one of the great legends of traditional music!
