Erika & Cecilia - Swedish folk musicians

Erika & Cecilia - folkmusiker

Swedish folk musicians Cecilia Österholm & Erika Lindgren Liljenstolpe offers their trademark first-rate performance and musical emotion with rare telepathic interplay in tow. Their closely intertwined vocals combined with the strong melodic sound of Cecilia's keyed fiddle - an instrument unique to Sweden - and the close counterpoint of Erika's intense folk fiddle makes for a riveting, groovy and beautful soundscape. On their last album "Någonstans I rymden" they joined forces with one of Sweden's maestro classical guitarists - Mats Bergström. Together they bring the Swedish-Finnish avant garde poet Edith Södergran's poems to another levels with compositions filled with passion and dynamic.

"Erika & Cecilia have developed into one of Swedish folk music's foremost acts" (Lira music mag)

They have collaborated with Benny Andersson (ABBA) and opera singer Malena Ernman and performed at festivals all over Europe and USA.
