Скачать или смотреть Granfors Moberg - Karlebynejdens brudmarsch

Mats Granfors, a Finnish-Swedish violinist from Finnish Ostrobothnia, and Pär Moberg, a saxophone player from Skåne in Sweden, met through the Nordtrad network for higher education in folk and world music, as Mats is a senior lecturer in music at Novia University College in Vaasa/Jakobsstad, and Pär is a senior lecturer at the Malmö Academy of Music. Musical liking arose immediately, and since 2025 the two have been a duo with both Swedish and Finnish-Swedish folk music in their repertoire.

In their playing, the two build on their deep knowledge of traditional playing styles, but the unusual instrumentation with violin and saxophone, and the meeting between the Finnish-Swedish and southern Swedish repertoire gives the music an innovative tone. In historical times, FInland was a part of Sweden for centuries, and sailing across the Baltic Sea has been the easiest way for people and music to travel. So you can hear that these are sibling traditions that meet, even though they are now at home in two different countries.

Here, they play a traditional wedding march from the Karleby area in Finland.
