Röjås Jonas (1921-1989) from Boda in Dalarna was one of the greatest fiddlers in the history of Swedish traditional music. He passed away in 1989 but even today, almost 20 years later, he remains an important influence for many fiddlers in
Sweden. Now, finally, the first full-length album featuring Röjås Jonas is about to be released on the label Nordic Tradition! Most of the material on the CD was recorded by Jonas himself during the early 70’s, just before the big folk music burst, and it’s a testament to the legacy of one of the great legends of traditional music!
Thank you for the add. I love this music and the violin. It sounds beautiful, when you play violin. I started two 2 years ago to learn this great instrument. It's very difficult, but i have a good teacher. I add your songs in the next time on my space. Much respect and i wish you a great time.
Jag träffade Jonas två (jag kan minnas fel) dagar innan han gick bort. Jag var på besök i Malung och han skulle åka till USA (var det så?).
Nåväl...en sjusärdeles spelman som borde haft många aktiva år kvar när han rycktes bort.
