Review
Ranarim consists of the two singers Ulrika Bodén and Sofia Sandén, nyckelharpa player Niklas Roswall and guitar and mandola player Jens Engelbrecht. This is their first album, but they have all made other recordings. Ulrika and Sofia sing with Rosenbergs Sjua, and Ulrika also sings with Kalabra. Niklas has made a solo album and also plays with Nyckelharpsorkestern. Jens plays with the groups Hulling and B.A.R.K. Ulrika’s and Sofia’s voices complement each other well, and Niklas’ and Jens’ varied instrumental backing completes the sound of Ranarim: old songs and ballads in modern arrangements.
