For more than 25 years Jarmo has played the traditional folk music od his country, classical music and Brazilian Choro music. He has published several CDs as a soloist and with his group Nordic Choro. Jarmo is playing a 10 string mandolin. His new CD is titled <strong>Nordic Mandolin<\/strong> and is dedicated to the folk music of the nordic countries.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>From his media release: Jarmo Romppanen is a mandolin player, a composer and a free lance musician from Finland, which is one of the Nordic countries in Northern Europe. These countries share certain folk music and dance traditions with each other.<br \/>\nRomppanen has released his third solo album called Nordic Mandolin\u2026the album is full of fresh, airy and compelling music\u2026the music is based on Nordic fiddle tunes and on traditional dance music; polska, schottische, polka, mazurka, waltz\u2026the groovy songs are performed with a contemporary style of mandolin playing!<br \/>\nThis album is the result of 25 years experience and intensive studying of mandolin playing and Nordic folk music.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Jarmo has recorded most tunes alone playing several tracks together &#8211; this creates the sound of a mandolin trio or mandolin quartet. The clear and bright sound of this recording reminds me to the recordings of the Melonious Quartet with Patrick Vaillant (France) or the recordings by Simon Mayor (UK). Some tracks do even sound like medieval music.<\/p>\n<h4>Jarmo Romppanen presents Nordic Mandolin<\/h4>\n<div class=\"ast-oembed-container \" style=\"height: 100%;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Nordic Mandolin ZBR03 album presentation\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/XRlR1QLpxlE?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\n<h4>Tracklist:<\/h4>\n<p>Jarmo Romppanen: Nordic Mandolin (ZBR03)<br \/>\n1.
