Lena Willemark

Lena Willemark's music carries a romance I find hard to resist. Raised in Evertsberg in Dalarna, steeped in regional folk traditions, she then absorbed jazz in 1970s Stockholm. That collision of earthy fiddle and urban improvisation is precisely what makes her so distinctive. Her 2011 Litteris et Artibus medal confirms a serious, rooted artistry, and her collaborations with groups like Frifot suggest an open, generous musician rather than a purist. I would give a great deal to hear that voice live. She is the real thing.
