Nord

Interpreter: Warsaw Village Band
Label: Jaro
Location: Poland/Sweden

The revamped (with added 'second-generation' players) Warsaw Village Band is as powerful and angular as ever, as they storm their way through a selection of mainly traditional tunes. Swedish guest musicians provide additional colour to this very strong collection which explores the heroes and mystics of the North, the Vikings, Inuit and Saami.
