Äktaro pays tribute to traditional Swedish folk songs. Songs that the Swedish mother of trumpet player Bo Floor (known from Jungle By Night) sang for him when he was little. At the Conservatory of Amsterdam he met guitarist Siebren Smink and together they discovered the Swedish folk sound they immediately fell in love with. Äktaro pays homage to the roots of Scandinavian music with a twist of playful jazz improvisation, creating an atmosphere that reflects the peace and tranquility of Swedish nature. Lullabies, ballads and campfire songs to calm the listener.
