Review
This is the debut album from two young musicians from northern Sweden, who have played together for five years. Daniel Pettersson plays the nyckelharpa and became world champion of that instrument in 2000, and Daniel Fredriksson plays the mandola. The music on this recording consists of old tunes from Västerbotten and Lappland in northern Sweden, mixed with a few new compositions. All these tunes are dressed up in modern clothes, with influences from other genres and free improvisations, but all within the bounds set by two acoustic instruments.
