Madison Scandi Band
The Madison (Wisconsin) Scandi Band, like spelmanslags in Scandinavian communities, is a group of fiddlers (and occasionally other musicians) who meet in members' homes to play traditional music. We learn the music by ear—from each other, from musicians at Folklore Village and other workshops, and from recordings. Our music is for dancing: Polskas from Rättvik, Bingsjö, Boda, and other Swedish locations Gånglåts (walking tunes) and Snoas Hambos Polses, springars, and springleiks from Norway Waltzes Danish Sonderhoning and Femspring Polkas
