Sjoberg,Saga Best-Loved Songs Of Sweden CD

Saga Sj+¬berg (1911-1997) and Kai Soderman (1927-2010), Swedish folk musicians with successful international careers, sing and play guitar with accompaniment from accordion, violin, cello, and clarinet. Sjoberg's voice ranges from clear and bright to earthy and raw, and is complemented by Soderman's warm, rich baritone.
