About the Artist
Meet TC - a very Swedish female singer/songwriter TC is the girl at the piano with a lush voice and a powerful story to tell. She sings with a bright and mature voice and delivers her music with strength and bravery. She does so from the other side of an ocean that separates her from her home land. In TCs novel sound you find a pleasing crossover between Nordic folk melodies and contemporary pop. She sings in both Swedish and English and her songs leave no stone unturned in describing strong emotions - all resolving in beautiful harmonies reminiscent of the melancholy in Scandinavian folk music. TC is classically trained in voice and piano and has been a singer/songwriter and performer for most of her life. She moved to the San Francisco Bay Area in 1995 and is a current lead singer in the Bay Area bands Implied Five and Karmadogs. In the summer of 2004 TC met up with producer Ben Yonas, the man behind such rising stars as Spencer Day and King Street. He immediately picked up on the unique appeal of TCs music. Using acoustic sounds and powerful arrangements Ben treated his production of TCs voice and piano with care, emphasizing her vulnerability and honesty. The result can now be heard her debut album ¨Scent of You¨ - a creation of modern but timeless Swedish-American folk/pop music, appealing to audiences on both continents. Joined by a talented crew of musicians from her band Karmadogs TC is following up her album release with live showcases and a tour overseas in 2005. TC is inspired by the craft of songwriters such as Heather Nova and Sarah McLachlan and by the musical bravery of Björk. Comparisons can also be made with Joni Mitchell, Norah Jones, Tori Amos and Fiona Apple. Her song writing is colored by the vibrant pulse of the San Francisco Bay Area but also by the separation of living overseas. She says: ¨When you live in a foreign country you find yourself on the outside looking in. Sometimes it makes you feel lonely and out of place, however, this displacement has allowed me to observe - and to express what I see and feel in my music. There's a great sense of belonging to be found in playing music. When I write and perform my songs about my own and other peoples' experiences I can bridge the gap."¨

A Phenomenal Journey from Rio Bravo to Rio de la Plata.......2004-01-31
Yolanda and Enrique offer us this true Latin American musical embrace. Although I knew of Enrique Coria's masterful guitar style, this lyrical duo with Yolanda Aranda really exceeded everything I expected. The trained voice of Yolanda takes us through zambas and huapangos with passion and subtleties. My favorite tunes are La Malagüeña (where Yolanda shows the real pitch of her voice) and La Canción Mixteca. Chava Flores' Mi México de Ayer is also really moving. In La Pucha con el Hombre (a great escondido in the tradition of Los Carabajal), Yolanda may not compete with my paisana Mercedes Sosa, yet her voice really shines. In summary, this is one of the best Latin American musical partnerships I heard in the last years: an homage to the everlasting Latin American musical tradition.
Phenomenal.......2003-10-23
Reminds me of the Getz/Gilberto recordings. Tremendous feeling. Buy this now.

Customer Reviews:
I wish I was Swedish.......2006-06-10
This is simply my favorite disc of song out there. As a recreational singer, it's wonderful to come across a disc like this and be given an entire new world of song that you can't even find music for. The songs by Sigurd von Koch, who spent some time in Asia, are beautiful enough to dissolve your brain! In The Month Of Tjaitra and Of Lotus Scent And Moonlight are so full of beautiful imagery and wonderful music I can't see why people sing anything else. And the folk-inspired Pertersen-Berger songs are loads of fun too, although of course not as moving.
A feeling of discovery.......2000-09-23
The songs on this wonderful Swedish anthology may not be familiar to most listeners but they occupy an idiom not so dissimilar to the world of Grieg. (Otter and Forsberg's Grieg recital from a few years earlier is also indispensible.). The nostalgia-tinged melancholy (or is it wistful joy?) of Wilhelm Peterson-Berger's folk-inspired songs, for example, convey a hint of Grieg's art yet are distinctively Swedish. There are nine selections by Peterson-Berger, out of 31 total, and they all exemplify this composer in full melodic flower. The other composers offer something closer to what we think of as art songs: somewhat rarefied, reserved, melodically rich and often evocative. The piano accompaniments are always first rate. This treasury provides a rich and varied 74-minute overview of Swedish song.
If the quality of the Swedish literature as a whole is half as good as what's presented here, let's hope that this is only an introduction from Otter and Forsberg, who would seem to have this repertoire to themselves although one could not hope for more understanding interpreters. After all, they are Swedish! All of imagination of their earlier Grieg interpretations is present here as well. There is all the necessary depth of characterization without affected artsiness.
If that's not enough, this disc also won the coveted Gramophone Award.
