clacke: inhibited exhausted pixie dream boy 🇸🇪ðŸ‡ðŸ‡°ðŸ’™ðŸ’›Ulrika Bodén is one of my favorite singers ever, and to the extent of what I know about her, one of my favorite people too. Her singing has incredible precision, and she has spent her career spreading songs from northern Sweden, in northern Swedish singing traditions and northern Swedish dialects, to a wider audience. Your average Swede wouldn't know about the "kulning" singing technique if not for Bodén and others like her reinvigorating traditions.
In this half-hour episode, she talks about growing up, discovering her own local dialect, and stories of other people who were denied their dialect, reconnected with it and flourished as artists and poets. Also featured are Liliana Zavala, percussionist from Córdoba, Argentina; Rostam Mirlashari, Balochi singer from Zahedan, Sistan and Baluchestan province, Iran; and Swedish dancer Ulrika Larsen, who specializes in East Indian dance.
The conversation is in Swedish, but there are English subtitles, and the majority of the time is musical performances.
