Pettersson & Fredriksson(瑞典)
Daniel Pettersson and Daniel Fredriksson perform traditional Swedish folk music on the nyckelharpa (also known as the "key fiddle" or "key harp" and mandola.
The duo having been making music together since high school, when they first played folk songs on piano and electric guitar at a Christmans concert in 1997. Since then, they've dug deeper into the roots of traditional Swedish music, exchanging their instruments for the more traditional key fiddle and mandola and lute. But their performances are infused with a modern sensibility -- Petterson has a background in classical and jazz; Fredriksson is a lover of hard rock and heavy metal.
Combining a collection of musical riffs, improvisation and minimalist composing, the pair have set out to both pay respects to their traditional folk music while also pushing its boundaries. To date, the duo has released three albums: "Brand" (2002), "Virek" (2005) and "Sotali" (2010).
