Himlens Polska by Erik Ask Upmark Erik Ask Upmark : Himlens Polska.
 Scandinavian music on the celtic harp.

John writes: Magnatune musician Tim Rayborn introduced me to his Swedish Folk musician friend Erik Ask-Upmark. They've played together many times (most recently when Erik was on tour, and passed through San Francisco). Erik has many projects, all focussed on traditional Swedish folk music, so be sure to check out his solo album, his album with Anna Rynefors entitled "Dram" and his group Svanevit.
