His
interest in Swedish traditional music has been ever increasing, and he has been
fascinated with Medieval music since childhood. Deeply inspired by Robbie
Krieger, the guitarist of the Doors fame, Christer took up the guitar, and you
can still detect certain meandering sitaresque echoes in his playing style. In
the late 80s he also purchased a Swedish-built flat-back bouzouki, which is very
well suited for accompanying both traditional and early music.
The
oud – the Arab lute, has been recently added. Christer’s drumming interest
eventually shifted towards the playing of various hand-held drums, such as frame
drums, darbouka, tabla, gatham etc.
Christer
has previously performed in several different constellations through the years,
like JumJum Band (assorted traditional music), Misaudor (Medieval) as well as
various theatrical assignments.
