Superfiddle at Brazilian jam session

Thanks to our good friend Erio Meili of the Sao Paolo Bluegrass Association of Brazil for this link to a page of the SPBA website, showing photos and audio clips from a recent jam session at the Olivo Bar in Sao Paulo. Erio mentions that Irish fiddle music predominated in this particular session, but we picked on this photo of the fiddler Elcio playing the traditional Swedish keyed fiddle, the nyckelharpa.

No, the link with American old-time music is not too remote; your editor has seen a nyckelharpa played at the annual Tennessee Fall Homecoming in the Museum of Appalachia at Norris, TN, north of Knoxville. Plenty of nyckelharpa clips can be found on YouTube.
