THe finest medieval music. coming straight at you from the year 1350!


Falsobordone is one of Sweden's most established and acclaimed medieval ensembles, celebrating 25 years of music in 2021! In those years, they have performed all over the world, including in USA, Russia and most European countries. They also play Nordic traditional music (albeit with a slight medieval tinge) but then under the name "Dråm". The two founding members, Erik Ask-Upmark and Anna Rynefors, have been well awarded : They are both "Riksspelmän" ("Master Musician of the Realm"), they recently received the Folk Heroes Award at the Swedish Folk & World Music Gala and Erik won the prestigious Solo Bagpipe Competition at Chateau d'Ars in 2019!

In Falsobordone, Erik plays bagpipes, shawm, rauschpfeife, harp, organetto, citole, and sings. Anna plays rebec, Moraharpa, bagpipes, percussion and also sings. Some favorite and frequent guest musicians (who you can all hear on the latest CD!) include Karin S. Lagergren (voice), Magne Pettersson (hurdy-gurdy), Daniel Åhlman (percussion) and Shira Kammen (fiddle). Read on for information about our different programs and recordings!

Don't miss: Falsobordone is being featured on Swedish Television's show "Sveriges Musikhistoria - The Music History of Sweden"! You can watch it here on SVTPlay.
