about

Anna Rynefors & Miriam Andersén, two musicians and "riksspelmän" ("Master Musician of the Realm") have been busy with the musical project Kvinnolåt – "Women´s tune", or "sound" – since 2015. With a focus on the forgotten women in music history, from the women skalds of the Viking Age to the female fiddlers of olden days, they have been trying to find the women who came before.

Digging in archives and records, making interviews, they have managed to find the singing and fiddle-playing mothers, sisters and daughters that held the tradition alive by handing on the tunes to their sons - who ended up getting all the attention and recognition. With this album, featuring traditional Nordic music played, sung or composed by women, Anna & Miriam explore the female musical traditions of their home region Skåne/Scania, the southernmost tip of Sweden in Scandinavia (incidentally named over a thousand years ago after - Scania)!
