CD of the Week - Ale Möller Band
|
On the CD Djef Djel, multi-instrumentalist Ale Möller blends Swedish, Greek and West African styles into a selection of music that bears his distinctive, adventurous stamp.
Ale has long been a central figure of the Scandinavian music scene, spurred by his experience playing Greek folk music to discover his own Swedish musical language. To do this, he applied the mandola to Swedish tunes, an innovation that influenced many others. He’s also an excellent player of flute, shawm, accordion, harmonica and trumpet. Bringing together his various musical influences, his band includes Greek singer Maria Stellas, West African singer and fiddler Mamadou Sene, fellow Swedish multi-instrumentalist Magnus Stinnerbom, French Canadian double bassist Sébastian Dubé, and Mexican-born percussionist Rafael Sida Huizar.
