Anders Norudde is one of the minds behind the legendary Hedningarna - a band whose influence is still felt throughout the world of Nordic folk music today. With their reputation for bringing a more raw, primal, and percussive energy to traditional folk music, Hedningarna was one of a handful of bands out of Sweden in the 90s who pushed the boundaries of what folk music can be.
With Hedningarna's lasting influence on Nordic music today, cited as influences on the likes of Einar Selvik, Maria Franz, and others, we are truly grateful that Anders agreed to come onto the podcast to talk about the band's history, as well as showing us his own menagerie of instruments as a luthier. There's no overstating how much of a milestone this is for the podcast, as no story of the Nordic Sound would be complete without Hedningarna.
