Review by Francis Bobongie

Sweden Souvenirs by Skansens Spelmanslag is an album that is sure to delight fans of traditional Swedish folk music. The album features a collection of lively and upbeat tunes, played with skill and precision by the talented musicians of Skansens Spelmanslag.

From the opening track, "Gärdebylåten," to the closing number, "Polska från Jämtland," the album is a joy to listen to. The melodies are catchy and the rhythms are infectious, making it impossible to sit still while listening.

One of the standout tracks on the album is "Vals från Enviken," a beautiful waltz that showcases the musicians' ability to create a gentle and romantic atmosphere with their playing. Another highlight is "Slängpolska från Värmland," a fast-paced dance tune that is sure to get feet tapping and heads nodding.

About Skansens Spelmanslag

Started by Axel Myrman for a recording session with HMV in 1954. Members then were also Öst, Jernberg, Ohlson, Bäckström, and Erik Klockar. Basically they were a studio group only, and rarely, if ever, performed live. Members changed for later sessions, but Myrman was active in most of them.
