A sort of mystic wok of Nordic folk music in pop clothing, spiced with funk, rock and jazz: this is how the quintet Kalabra describes their music. Folka is their second CD (their first was released 1997). The CD is produced by Mats Wester, best known as the man behind the Nordman recordings.

Kalabra consists of Ulrika Boden (song), Erik Metall (bass guitar), Sebastian Printz-Werner (drums and percussion), Simon Stålspets (Nordic bozouki, electric guitar, harmonica, willow flute) and Markus Svensson (keyed fiddle).

The story of the group, which began five years ago, started with an appearance at the "Norrsken," which is the Falun Folk Music Festival's "winter collection." This eventually resulted in a CD, Kalabra, which was a sensation in folk music circles. The group has since then toured extensively and performed at all the Swedish stages worth mentioning, such as the Falun Folk Music Festival, Stockholm Water Festival, on TV and radio, at the jazz club Fasching, the Berwald Hall, et al.
