Röjås Jonas

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!
