Sounds Like

"Slatta plays songs in a special way, often playing in unison. Very fascinating with a dance groove that makes me jump around in my little apartment and humming tunes when walking in the streets. It makes me want to play violin. It makes me enjoy life. I am hooked, yeah baby!"
Erik Svansbo, NORDICFOLK.COM

"All this variation in the interplay between Daniel Pettersson and Daniel Fredriksson can be exciting, but this also makes the album quite demanding. Listening to Virek is an intense experience."
Staffan Jonsson, ROOTSWORLD

"Det låter mycket på bara två instrument om den unga begåvade folkmusikduon Pettersson och Fredriksson, vars nya cd spänner från en närmast rockmusikalisk energi till ålderdomliga, sparsamt uttryckta ballader"
Ulf Gustavsson - Upsala Nya Tidning

""Vildsint intensiv folkmusik som kan få halvdöda att börja stampa med foten, ja till och med med båda fötterna. Ibland blir det mer av lågmäld konsertmusik, nästan försiktigt spelad. Men hela tiden finns det en speciell ljudbild." "Köp den här skivan om du vill höra mästerligt spel.""
Lennart Götesson, Dala-Demokraten

"Daniel P och Daniel F spelar krispigt och fräscht med rötter i den västerbottniska traditionen. Vare sig de formar om traditionella låtar eller väver egna med ett vitalt mönster av goda melodier, som i "Juli" om en lång romantisk sommar.""
Lasse Åbom, Östgötacorrespondenten

""Som en känd företagsslogan går: "Vi är vad vi heter." Fast här är musiken förstås klart sexigare än det handfasta (anti?)namnet. De två unga Skellefteårotade spelmännen Daniel Pettersson - en gång korad till nyckelharpsvärldsmästare vid stämman i Österbybruk - och Daniel Fredriksson, mandola, har ett samspel av tvillingklass. Oftast fixar Daniel P melodin, medan Daniel F fogar runt den med stämmor, ackord och motfigurer, och musiken blir både rik, tät och luftig. Och lika levande och spontan i känslan som den är noggrant planerad. ""
Alexander Agrell, Sydsvenska Dagbladet

""Det är lika bra att skriva det på en gång, det här är en kanonplatta från två herrar på uppåtgående... ...Genomgående starka låtar gör Virek till en av de klart intressantaste svenska folkmusikplattorna hittills i år.""
Micke Forsberg, Lira

About Pettersson & Fredriksson

Pettersson & Fredriksson seek new forms of accoustic expression. Using mandola and nyckelharpa they explore both the local Swedish folk music tradition of Västerbotten and an inner, personal landscape.

The duo consists of mandola and lute player Daniel Fredriksson and keyed fiddler Daniel Pettersson, who was voted world champion on nyckelharpa (keyed fiddle) in the year 2000.

Their first record Brand (swedish for fire) was released in 2002 on record label DRONE. Brand featured mainly traditional tunes from Västerbotten. The record got good reviews and with its fierce playing and very heavy sound for an acoustic duo-album it left a mark in the folkmusic world. The second album Virek was released in 2005. Virek is a word in an old dialekt from Västerbotten, meaning someone who has travelled far. The record focused more on newly composed tunes and an even more experimental approach to arrangement and musical interaction.

In 2006 the duo teamed up with with fiddlers Thomas Andersson and Maria Jonsson in an effort to go "back to the roots". The result is the "side project" SLATTA 2006 - a CD with traditional dancing tunes from Västerbotten and a concert show with tunes and tales. Below is a clip from the release consert, the quality is poor, but the sound is ok I guess (well, you can hear the tune anyways). Feel free to embed the video on your page if you wish.

The next step in the saga that is Pettersson & Fredriksson is clouded in darkness, but the third duo-album will come during 2008. The first one was red, the second blue. The third one will be green…

Druyd	Nov 19 2009 4:07 PM In the magicalities of a could, Between the probabilities of a would, Beyond the trivialities of a should, In these ungraspable mysticalities There lies a secret a passage… To this extraordinary wood. But for you, it unfolds easily and true And the only thing you have to do Is press play, and you’ll have a view. Druyd
