Our Take

Ah, BLEKINGE SPELMANSFIRBUND, the eccentric Swedish ensemble that takes traditional folktunes and gives them a modern twist. This album is like a musical smorgasbord, with each track offering a unique blend of crisp melodies and toe-tapping rhythms.

From the moment you press play, you're transported to the rolling hills of Sweden, where the sounds of fiddles, accordions, and nyckelharpas fill the air. It's like a Scandinavian ceilidh, but with a cooler edge.

Tracks like "Dancing in Dalarna" and "Midsummer Magic" are infectious, with their catchy hooks and playful arrangements. It's impossible not to tap your foot along to the beat or even break out into a spontaneous Swedish folk dance.

But what sets BLEKINGE SPELMANSFIRBUND apart from the rest is their fearless creativity. They're not afraid to experiment with sound, blending traditional folk with elements of rock, jazz, and even electronica. It's a bold move, but one that pays off in spades.

So, if you're looking for a musical experience that's as unique as it is entertaining, look no further than BLEKINGE SPELMANSFIRBUND's The Music Of Sweden. It's a wild ride through the heart of Swedish folk music, and one you won't soon forget. Skål!
