Two ajoulottes, dances from Ajoie region in Jura canton, Switzerland. The melodies are very simple but have a specific rhythmical pattern which was a lot of fun to bow in different ways ! These tunes were collected by Jean Garneret and Charles Culot in the 1970s and I have them from the swiss band Au Gré des Vents. This video is released for #WorldNyckelharpaDay on the 25th of april 2021. This year's theme was “play tunes from your native country on nyckelharpa“. Other swiss tune played by me (waltz/song) : And another (montferrine) : More about the event : I'm Emelie Waldken, I play mostly scandinavian folk music on fiddle & swedish nyckelharpa. I teach both instruments aswell as traditional dances. I play in various bands, solo and as a studio musician. Support on Patreon : Listen on Spotify :
