Sweden is known for its rich fiddling tradition. This tradition has been handed down over the seventies and the eighties to the younger generation. This is the point of this LP which focuses on 18 young fiddlers all from the region called Dalarna one of the strongholds of Swedish musical tradition.
These fiddlers play mostly in duets, trios and quartets without any backing; so they might be qualified as revivalists but they are as close as possible to the original versions. They were born between 1942 and 1956. Among the names mentionned in tune titles we find great fiddlers like B. Anders or L.Åhs. Since the eighties this repertoire found its way to folk bands with swedish and european instruments.
