The Violents - Cindy, Oh Cindy (1962)

Violents was a mainly instrumental guitar pop group formed in Stockholm, 1959.

Åsa Jinder plays the nyckelharpa.


Åsa Jinder - Min Alva

Song from the album "Folkmusik på svenska" by Åsa Jinder. Presented along with images showing the different shapes and forms of the beautiful Swedish forests. I hope you enjoy.

Wikipedia: nyckelharpa

A nyckelharpa (literally "key harp", plural nyckelharpor or sometimes keyed fiddle) is a traditional Swedish musical instrument. It is a string instrument or chordophone. Its keys are attached to tangents which, when a key is depressed, serve as frets to change the pitch of the string.

The nyckelharpa is similar in appearance to a fiddle or the bowed Byzantine lira. Structurally, it is more closely related to the hurdy gurdy, both having key actuated tangents used to change the pitch.

Goddag Hellmutt, I am not Danish but I once loved a very beautiful Dane. She tried to get me to say "Rødgrød med fløde", then laugh at me. You Danes think that is so funny to make someone try and say that impossible phrase.

I do believe this band is from Sweden. This song is so haunting. The video is amazing. Hej hej

The Danes also want me to say that impossible phrase I live in Denmark, but I'm Norwegian.


Back to Sweden...:


Here's Thorstein Bergman's interpretation of Dan Andersson's "Heldagskväll i timmerkojan".


Wikipedia: Dan Andersson

Dan Andersson died in room 11 at Hotel Hellman in Stockholm on September 16, 1920, where he had gone to look for a job at the newspaper Social-Demokraten. The hotel staff had used hydrogen cyanide against bedbugs and hadn't cleared the room as prescribed. At 3 pm Dan Andersson was found dead. At the same time, insurance inspector Elliott Eriksson from Bollnäs also died.

OPETH.
