Like the first and highly recommended CD "Serras", the melodic material is the Danish scorebooks from the 17th century and a result of every single band member's different musical references.
Since their first CD, released 1999, the band has been playing the mayor big Danish festivals, and festivals abroad as the Dranouter Folk Festival (B), Folkest (I) and Celtic Connection (Sco).
Besides they have work in the studio experimenting with new expressions and Old Danish traditional tunes.This CD is the result.
The band members have worked with many styles of music and still do. As a result, the music is characterised by this multitude of styles. The style of SERRAS.
Besides SERRAS you know them from bands as Sorten Muld, Blues Brothers Souvenir Show, Puls, DK-lokomotive and Haugaard&Høirup.
Harald Haugaard is deeply involved with traditional Danish music. He found a number of themes in dusty old music books, melodies by the clerk Rasmus Storm from South Funen, by the flautist Count Otto von Raben from Lolland and by the Faeroese student of theology, Jens Christian Svabonius.

Dansk fusions-folk, der sparker liv i den traditionelle spillemandsmusik.
SERRAS har med deres første udgivelse fra 1999, deres fortolkninger af dansk 1700-tals musik og det pågående, udadvendte og energiske show vakt stor opmærksomhed blandt det danske og udenlandske publikum og anmeldere indenfor folk, rock og jazz.
År 2000 var deres foreløbige "store" år hvor deres første udgivelse blev fulgt op med festival og club turneer i ind- og udland bl.a. de store danske festivaler som Roskilde, Tønder, Ringe, og Langeland, og udenlandske som Dranouter Folk Festival (B), Folkest (I) og Celtic Connection (Sco).
