In her native Sweden, Lena Jonsson is one of the best-known folk musicians today. She celebrates a fresh, modern and above all open view of the folk tradition and draws inspiration from many different musical styles from all over the world. This is no different with her third album 'Elements'. Lena Jonsson has composed all tracks from scratch. Although she is oriented towards traditional Swedish folk music, the songs skilfully take impulses from jazz, rock and bluegrass. The result is a sound which is traditional and modern at the same time. The Lena Jonsson Trio combines traditional Scandinavian shepherd instruments such as the cow horn and the African instruments balafon and mbira.
