    Dreadful sound engineered nonsense

    Interesting that she plays a typical Swedish folk instrument, the keyed fiddle (Nyckelharpa)!

    Sounds like Enya. I’d like to hear the instrument on its own without accompianment.

    I had the great fortune to hear Ana in Toledo back in 2012. The video example here is not her best and indeed the mix could have been better done.

    Ana has a gorgeous voice and is an incredibly gifted musician. Her “musical presence” is awesome and can draw one into her own intimate world. I highly recommend her album “La Cantiga Del Fuego” if you have the opportunity to listen to it.

    If I ever get back to Toledo – she’ll be at the top of my list. A wonderful person.
