Exploring the roots, shoots and fruits of Scandinavian and Nordic traditions.

I write songs all the time but I'm a use this thing to play you old demos. Don't steal 'em. I love you.

In July 2019 Åkervinda made their TV debut in the famous Swedish TV show Allsång på Skansen in SVT. The spring prior Åkervinda released their second album 'Förgänglighet’, which later received a nomination for a Swedish Grammis in the category “Folk music of the year”. Förgänglighet - the passing of life - is a tribute to all the things that withers away and a celebration of life in summer as well as autumn. Like so many storytellers and artists before them, Åkervinda carries tales of women throughout the ages, embodied in a visual musical live performance.
Åkervinda share a deep love of folk music, and give new life to the Scandinavian folk tunes in their original and modern interpretations. The group’s name is inspired by a Swedish wildflower whose roots spread far and wide like rivers under the ground. Like the flower, gracefully entwining melodies, rock solid groove, and ever intriguing harmonies will take root in your mind. Like the flower, they will be impossible to remove.

Remixing Lapland is a new song inspired by the sounds and scapes in the Lapland Sound Collection.

The Lapland Sound Collection is a library of royalty-free authentic sounds taken amid the wilderness and local life in Finnish Lapland. These sounds can be used in music, podcasts, videos, as ringtones, or however you wish! Licensed CC-BY, you are free to use these sounds for any purpose, even commercial, as long as you credit Only in Lapland and share your new creations with #soundoflapland so we can follow your work and share it with our hundreds of thousands of followers and fans.

What is Lapland, you ask? Lapland is the northernmost region of Finland, mostly above the Arctic Circle. The last wilderness in Europe, this is a place for unwinding, reflecting, focusing or just having fun. Are you ready to climb your first fell? Hear the wind whispering through an endless pine forest? Feel the waves lap at your toes under the Midnight Sun? Then you might be ready for Lapland.

For even more Finnish Lapland, check out the album SCAPES, with relaxing sounds pulled from the untamed wilderness and unfettered local life: https://www.lapland.fi/visit/sound-of-lapland/scapes/
