Framnäs Folklore Ensemble

Framnäs Folklore Ensemble consists of students from Framnäs Folk High School's music programme and from the College of Music. They play their own versions of swinging folk music from Bulgaria, Macadonia, and Turkey, infused with a rock sensibility. If you liked the music from the films ”Svart katt, vit katt”, ”Underground” and ”Zigenarnas tid", you'll love this. They have been to the Balkans, played many times and won the hearts of their audiences. This summer they plan to take part in a folk music festival in Macedonia.

The size of the band is like an accordion, when compressed there are 12 of them, but pulled apart there are 22...
