LARS HOLLMER WITH LOOPING HOME ORCHESTRA-VENDELTID, LP, 1987, SWEDEN






One time leader of RIO legends Samla Mammas Mamma/Zamla Mammaz Manna/Von Zamla turned solo recording artist, Lars Hollmer passed away in 2008, but his hallmark mix of buoyantly percolating folkloric themes and giddy joie de vivre remains stuck to the bones and bonded to the hearts of many who've encountered his enchanting music. This first outing with The Looping Home Orchestra (many more would follow) traces a direct line from his exploits on both the Von Zamla LP's and from his preceding solo albums, though working with this crew (which includes drummer Martin Tiselius from Von Zamla), tethers his compositions to more streamlined structures than in the past.
