Marit Fält and Rona Wilkie joined us to share some Scandinavian tunes. We learnt two polskas, the first is a Slängpolska from Småland. It doesn’t have a name but is often referred to at ‘Nu skall mormor bada’ which translates into ‘Now grandmother shall have a bath’. The second polska is from Leksand in Dalecarlia in tradition of Rolig Pers, so it’s usually called ‘Rolig Pers Polska’.
