Låtar, Swedish folk tunes

Gunnar Idenstam is a freelance concert organist, composer and folk musician. He gives concerts all over the world. As a folk musician he seems to be unique – in his manner of transferring the genuine Swedish fiddler tradition to the church organ or to the pump organ and the keyboard.

Johan Hedin grew up in the province of Småland, in an area where folk music was cultivated. Johan often plays in groups where different genres meet and are inspired by one another, as in the trio Bazar Blå (Bazar Blue). He has also put a lot of work into developing the keyed fiddle’s construction. Johan has also composed music for the keyed fiddle. Listen – and you will hear that Swedish folk music and the Baroque have many features in common!
