We had some guests over at our rehearsal the other day. A Brazilian TV-team came to interview us and film us playing. The TV-team travel all around the world to get to know the music in countries. In Sweden they interviewed us, the indie pop band Mando Diao and an opera singer amongst other as they said “Siri Karlsson is one of the most important acts on the Swedish music scene”. We played some songs and had a great baile funk jam with Guto Guerro, host of the show.

Thank you Vienna for the great concert audience!

Siri Karlsson – Manifest Award Winner 2012 Folk Music

Siri Karlsson — Thu, 22 Nov 2012 15:38:47 +0000

English the motivation sounds something like… “This year’s winner in the category folk music is a duo with the ears towards the world that with an heedless matter of course experiments with the traditions. With guest musicians from surrounding genres the duo creates an inviting music that full of promise raises the bar for what folk music in the right context also can be – or become.”

Gran Fuego Awarded Album of the Year @ Swedish Folk & World Music Gala

Siri Karlsson — Mon, 24 Oct 2011 06:34:03 +0000

Siri Karlsson tog hem priset för Årets Utgåva för Gran Fuego på Folk & Världsmusikgalan 2012!!

Motiveringen löd:

Årets Utgåva – Siri Karlsson “Gran Fuego”: Årets utgåva är ett album som söker sig vida bortom de gängse gärdsgårdar som kan inhägna folkmusik-Sverige. Med fulländad elegans förenas folktonernas djupa melankoli med mustig psykedelia, vänt sakrala harmonier och en alldeles samtida popkänsla. En ljuvt klingande musikdekokt där alla ingredienser känns helt självklara.
