Möller / Willemark / Gudmundson - Frifot
Founded in 1987, Frifot has been the flagship band of the Swedish Folk Revival. In their homeland, it's been said that "they create powerfully contemporary music that gives new life to the old traditions." The golden voice of Lena Willemark, the virtuoso fiddle playing of Per Gudmundson and Ale Möller's inspired multi-instrumentalism will be familiar to ECM listeners from their collaboration in the "Nordan" project.
