A few months ago Arto Jarvela came to focal point and blew everyone away with his fiddle technique. This week's show will start with Finnish music, with an emphasis on groups Arto is in. In the second half of the show I will feature groups from around the Swedish/Finnish/Danish part of the north sea. The groups are all revival musicians who lend a more colorful instrumentation to the sound.

About me
I am a Dermatologist by trade. I only co-taught one semester of ethnomusicology (at Wash U), and that taught me what it was that I didn't know. Better to keep it fun, really. I started collecting music in earnest after I accidentally bought a record of Romanian folk music. Instead of returning it, I listened to it, fell in love with the stuff, and 1500 LPs and CDs later I'm doing a radio show. My wife and i live in University City, and we go to Eastern Europe and folk music and dance camps 1-3 times a year to collect material.

  • This will be a really nice concert of Irish music. These folks have been described as reflecting the style of the Irish music renaissance of the 1980's and 70's. Their recordings certainly are great, and they've won prizes.
