From Blakullafarden to Akbank Bunka

Halsing Suite No. 1 for Guitar: IV. Ganglat "Blakullafarden" A traditional Swedish folk "walking song" from the Hälsingland region arranged for guitar and performed by Jakob Lindberg:


 From the same Suite of Suites of Swedish folk tunes this time from Dalecarlia,  here is Dalecarlian Suite No. 1 for Lute: I. Preludium:


Lindberg's younger brother is Christian Lindberg, a premier trombonist, conductor, and composer of some wildly different music.  Here for instance is Lindberg performing his own Elvis in Memoriam from his Asa Suite with the Australian Chamber Orchestra:


Lastly, here is Turk Jazz, the 3rd movement of Lindberg the Younger's Akbank Bunka suite, performed by Pacho Flores on trumpet with the Arctic Philharmonic based in Tromsø and Bodø, Norway:


Bonus: While we're talking Swedish folktunes, here's one from the region of a quarter of my ancestors, Skåne.  The tune is one of my favorites, Lönsbodapolkan performed by Tvåtakt:
