Älvdans

The Swedish ethnic/traditional duo Månsson & Åberg is: Göran Månsson, one of Sweden's foremost flutists, and Sven Åberg on lutes and guitar. Their sound is totally unique in a mix of tunes of their own and traditional material, backed-up by Jonas Åkerlund, gut strung violins and Petter Berndalen, percussion. Göran Månsson also performs with the folkmusic group Gjallarhorn, the folk-pop group Sarek, and Frispel. "It's crafty, innovative music based on a beautiful ethnic tradition which lets the compositions grow to something bigger. Folk music is for them a material that can be interpreted freely without losing its innermost heart." ("Lira Gillar", Gunder Wåhlberg / LIRA nr 1/2009)
