I'm asking about the genre and musicians of all origin are of course welcome!

I just now discovered Forndom through their album Dauðra Dura. Link in the title/post above.

One of my favorites is the soundtrack of Hellblade: Senua's Sacrifice.

Wardruna and Heilung, while amazing performance wise and musically, is a bit too dark and demonic for me. I do like Skáld's Huldufólk though.

It's a different kind of Nordic folk music, but Jazz På Svenska (Jazz in Swedish) is one of my favourite records. Beautiful piano and double bass interpretations of old Swedish folk songs collected from all over the country.

    I'm happy to find other Swedes around (*hushed voice* psst, our instance is pretty cool, if you're interested...).

    But yeah, Jan Johansson is an absolute legend. I so wish he wasn't taken from us so soon. Such a distinctive touch of the keys he had, so delicate.

    Thanks! xD I looked at the instance real quick at I'm AMAZED at the fact that there are Swedish communities outside of Big Tech driven platforms. :D I'll have to give it some careful consideration though, since there is just a LOAD of politics (naturally at the moment....) and it brings me back to why I left FB in the first place back in the day xD (2019?)

    Yeah, politics overload is natural at the moment, and quite depressing, given that it looks like we'll get more of the fucking Tidö disaster.

    Beyond that it's been a nice /local to have access to over the years though, and I like supporting local endeavours. I think nation based instances are one of my favourite features of the Fediverse.
