Music

When I stayed at Esther's appartment in Copenhagen, for a I while we shared the hospitality of her with Olga's brother, Mateusz and his friend. One evening we went biking with Mateusz, from Nørreport, all the way down to the statue of the Little Mermaid. In a street near Nyhavn we met with a music band, playing on violin, accordion, saxofon very cheerful music. We decelarated the speed of our bikes, to listen to them. They were walking by a wedding couple, and playing music for them. As I figured out later, just for fun, beacuse they were walking towards a pub, where they were going to play on that evening. As we slowed down by them to their speed, one of them crossed the street, and walked by us, and invited us to this pub. We went in and listened to them. Great music, reminds me a lot klezmer, and the guy told as later, yes, it is mixture of swedish folk music and klezmer. Unfortunatly we couldn't stay there for long, because, Olga was waiting for us (originally we went just for a fifteen minutes ride), and we didn't have any money with us to drink something in the pub (for the same reason). After the first unit of the music, we were leaving. The guy, who invited us, came to our table, and we had a little chat. He was really kind. The name of the band is Räfven, he gave us a call-card. Some weeks ago I checked their website, and I found a part on it, where you can order their CD, I thought I'll try, maybe it is possible from abroad aswell. It says you pay the price for the CD, when it arrives. Well, they have sent me their CD, without any fee, I didn't had to pay for the postman. I guess it is a present from them. I'm very pleased by their kindness.
