This is a waltz from\u00a0Boda<\/strong>, a village in the province of Dalarna.\u00a0 It has a rich history of wonderful traditional music.<\/p>

\u00a0 In the 1970’s a record album came out entitled “Boda tunes in Laggar Anders’ kitchen”.\u00a0 \u00a0It was basically 3 older musicians playing a lot of tunes together.\u00a0 Two played fiddle, the third played\u00a0\u00a0cittra<\/strong>, a chord-only zither-type instrument used for accompaniment.<\/p>

\u00a0 The record was a huge hit, coming right at the peak of the international folk music revival.<\/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
