\u00a0 Mariebo-Bonns Polska<\/b> comes to us through the playing of Ceylon Wallin, one of the most dominant nyckelharpa players of the latter half of the 20th century.\u00a0 Its title refers to a tiny place in Uppland called Mariebol.\u00a0 \u00a0Ceylon’s great-grandfather lived there and played nyckelharpa.<\/p>

\u00a0 Ceylon was a unique character.\u00a0 Easily identified in any crowd by his bushy beard and rumpled fedora, he was a dedicated advocate of the musical tradition of northeast Uppland, and especially of his family tradition.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

\u00a0 Born in 1922 in Val\u00f6 parish to a musical family, his given name was Karl Magnus Ceylon Wallin.\u00a0 He died in 1984.<\/p>

He and his brother Henry carried on the tradition of their father Albin.\u00a0 \u00a0Ceylon made recordings both by himself and with musicians even from other countries.\u00a0 In 1975 when the Swedish post office released a nyckelharpa stamp, it was Ceylon’s likeness on it.<\/p>

Here<\/a> is a YouTube recording of Ceylon Wallin playing Mariebo-Bonns Polska along with a good typical picture of him.<\/p>

To the left is a picture I took of him in 1974 at a fiddle festival in the town of \u00d6sterv\u00e5la.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
