Gran Fuego Awarded Album of the Year @ Swedish Folk & World Music Gala

Siri Karlsson tog hem priset för Årets Utgåva för Gran Fuego på Folk & Världsmusikgalan 2012!! Motiveringen löd:

Årets Utgåva – Siri Karlsson “Gran Fuego”: Årets utgåva är ett album som söker sig vida bortom de gängse gärdsgårdar som kan inhägna folkmusik-Sverige. Med fulländad elegans förenas folktonernas djupa melankoli med mustig psykedelia, vänt sakrala harmonier och en alldeles samtida popkänsla. En ljuvt klingande musikdekokt där alla ingredienser känns helt självklara.

Duon Siri Karlsson vann pris för årets utgåva. Cecilia Österholm hade med sig gravida lagkamraten Maria Arnqvist som pappfigur när hon tog emot statyetten.

Siri Karlsson – Manifest award winner 2012 for Gran Fuego!

Siri Karlsson – the Manifest award winner 2012 in the category folk music for our lates album Gran Fuego! We are sooo proud, soooo happy and feel sooooo good – THANK YOU Manifest – to us the most honorable music award in Sweden! And thank you every one who helped us make this album come true!

The jury’s motivation in Swedish:

“Årets vinnare i kategorin folk och visa är en duo med öronen mot världen som med obekymrad självklarhet formexperimenterar med traditionerna. Med gästmusiker från omkringliggande genrer skapar duon en inbjudande musik som löftesrikt höjer ribban för vad folkmusik i rätt sammanhang också kan vara – eller bli.”

Siri Karlsson - Manifest Award Winner 2012 Folk Music

In English the motivation sounds something like… “This year’s winner in the category folk music is a duo with the ears towards the world that with an heedless matter of course experiments with the traditions. With guest musicians from surrounding genres the duo creates an inviting music that full of promise raises the bar for what folk music in the right context also can be – or become.”
