Bridging the Atlantic, with Patrik Ahlberg
Manage episode 313328917 series 3266387
In this first episode of the show, I speak with my friend Patrik Ahlberg. Patrik is a wonderful fiddle and guitar player, and although he is Swedish he has been living in Chicago for the last eight years.
I highly recommend everyone to check out his album «Gitarrlåtar» (guitar tunes) where he plays Swedish and Norwegian Fiddle arranged for nylon string guitar.
Topics we cover in this conversation is differences between the folk music scene in Scandinavia and America, his approach to playing Swedish folk music on the guitar, being a folk musician in a post-modern world, preservation vs innovation and various other rabbit holes!
