Unga Spelmän från Södra Sverige

Twelve young folk musicians perform traditional folk music from six southern provinces. Each province has its own musical dialect and the young musicians have gained a thorough knowledge of their music in several ways; by studying written records of folk tunes, by listening to old recordings, and by visiting older musicians in their homes.

On this record you can hear, among others, the clog fiddle. It is a local version of the fiddle from Sweden’s southernmost province, Scania. A worn-out clog is used as raw material, and it has a thinner sound, more delicate than a normal fiddle.

This recording, made in 1982, features the following musicians:
Västergötland: Ing-Marie Thorsell (b. 1958), Anders Gunnarsson (b. 1953), both from Töreboda, Jonas Falk (b. 1955) from Skara
Scania: Göran Skytte (b. 1945) from Arlöv
Bohuslän: Marie Stensby (b. 1959) from Tanum, Bodil Hägg (b. 1959) from Bullaren, Sven Alfredsson (b. 1938) from Kville
Småland: Bengt Löfberg (b. 1944) och Eva Löfberg (b. 1948) from Virserum
Gotland: Sven Svantesson (b. 1943) Lärbro och Torsten Nilsson (b. 1948) from Hvadhem
Östergötland: Pelle Björnlert (b. 1955) from Boxholm
