Cedar Cultural Center's 10th and final Nordic Roots Festival features several heroes of fests past. Sounds of Sweden dominate, with sets by traditional music trio Väsen (8 p.m. today), hard-hitting electro-folkies Hedningarna (8 p.m. Sat.), energy-packed quintet Hoven Droven (8 p.m. Sun.), the sometimes stark and haunting Triakel with vocalist extraordinaire Emma Hardelin (2 p.m. Sat.) and the power duo Hurdy Gurdy (opening on Sun.). Also from Sweden come fun-loving newcomers Detektivbyrån (opening Sat.), who groove and charm with their strange lineup of glockenspiel, accordion, synths and drums. Rounding out a most enticing weekend are two fiddlin' supergroups, both with great new CDs. Finnish/Norwegian septet Frigg (2 p.m. Sun.) reaches for the sky and brings it into your living room on the ambitious "Economy Class." Just as impressive, Norway's Hardanger fiddle queen AnnbjØrg Lien, and U.S. bow all-pro Bruce Molsky are a perfect cross-cultural match in the new band Waltz With Me. (8 p.m. today). See Nordicroots.org for full details. (T.S.) 09/25/08 >> go there
