Do a Little Dance: Väsen with Mike Marshall and Darol Anger and "Timo's Jig"

Today's random tune, Timo's Jig is a product of a Swedish band with a couple of American folk musicians. Väsen is a Swedish folk music ensemble formed officially in 1990 for a music gathering in Norway. Väsen plays traditional instruments such as the nyckelharpa but it was adding a guitar that gave the band a unique sound. They play on this song with American mandolin player Mike Marshall, a leader in the New Acoustic Music movement that blends folk, bluegrass, jazz and world music. Also featured on the song is Marshall's longtime collaborator Darol Anger, an American violinist with an extensive background in jazz, folk and classical music. Timo's Jig can be found on the 2007 album Mike Marshall & Darol Anger with Väsen.
