Ethno on the road Sweden 2022

After a two-year hiatus, Ethno on the road is back with a new fantastic band! 

Ethno Sweden is probably the world’s largest international folk music camp for young musicians. This year marks 33 years since the camp was started at the Falu Folk Music Festival in Dalarna, since then Ethno has spread and is now present in over 40 countries all over the world. 

Ethno on the road is the tour version of Ethno, which is embarking on a three-week tour of Sweden this fall. This year’s band has international weight with five participants from three continents. Under the guidance of two skilled and experienced mentors, Nina Perez and Peter Rousu, these young musicians now have the opportunity to meet again to create a truly unique musical experience together. They will take you on a magical musical journey, around the world in just one hour. Joy of playing that is contagious, a rush of happiness to carry with you into the autumn darkness, you don’t want to miss this!
