In Swedish, Ljus means "light". It is this indescribable light, typical of the far north, that fascinated Marine Chagnon and Joséphine Ambroselli during their travels in Sweden. A light which, in a region of the world known for it's cold climate and long winter nights, struck them by it's brightness and warmth. This album is the memory of that light: it was born of a meeting between two passionate musicians who came together around Swedish melodies - melodies which these young artists interpreted in a very personal, luminous and warm way, bringing out the hope, the joy and the poetry of the most beautiful Scandinavian music.
