Folk music from Norway

 

From the beautiful, colorful folk music collection, I would like to highlight a folk instrument that has escaped my attention so far - the langeleik. 

The langeleik, also called langleik, is a Norwegian stringed folklore musical instrument, a droned zither. The combination of the lone melody string and the multiple drone strings gives the langeleik a distinctively rich sound.

John Dowland - Lachrimae or seven Teares

This is not a folk music album, but as before, I would like to share a wonderful musical material from a very interesting musical era for me, where the Renaissance bids farewell to us and gives way to the Baroque. And for this symbolic ceremony, the viola da gamba family of instruments provides beautiful, solemn music. John Dowland (2 Jan. 1563 - 20 Feb. 1626) lived and created during this era. In a year, it will be the 400th anniversary of his death.

Trio Los Paraguayos

 

1958

1957

I also found these two old singles in a second-hand shop. Both were in very bad and worn condition, but they must have been played many times over the decades. The record skips and glitches were fixed with some cleaning, but the crackling remained. But this is forgivable with such old records and the vintage feeling is even stronger.
