Swedish polyphonic folk song, with a unique sound you've never heard before
These three singers are all top
Swedish folkmusic solists and together they perform Swedish polyphonic folksongs,
deep in tradition but also creative in a modern way.
Susanne Rosenberg,
Eva Åström-Rune and Sofia
Sandén gives you everything
from polyphonic herding calls to soft ballads and chorals and happy dancing
tunes.
There is an unknown tradition
of polyphonic folksinging in Sweden
which have inspired these singers to explore the possibilities of trio singing
together.
They have worked together in the
group Rosenberg
7 (1995-2000),
a group with four singers and a stringtrio formed by Susanne Rosenberg,
but they also have their own bands such as
Rovälta (Susanne),
Alruna (Eva) and
Ranarim (Sofia).
And they have played together and separate at festivals, TV and radio both
in Europe,
Asia and America. But this is their first time in Iceland.
Susanne also works as a senior lecturar at the folkmusic department of
the Royal Collage of Music i Stockholm,
where both Eva and Sofia has studied.

Here some rewiews of Rosenbergs 7:
"How such beautiful music can be so raw and bursting of energy puzzles me" LIRA
"Rosenbergs Sjua manages to express what is known as the eternal -
the qualities that unifies man, life and music through the centuries...
With influences from jazzsinging, rock and new music the tradition is recreated
in the waste land between different musical genres. Often so fragile that
its almost breaking apart,
but sometimes tough and rough. The highest mark possible is too low."
