Uplands Spelmansförbund is an organization established in 1945, dedicated to the promotion and preservation of traditional music from the Uppland region of Sweden. The organization focuses on supporting local musicians and fostering a community around folk music. It regularly hosts music gatherings that provide opportunities for musicians and enthusiasts to come together, share their passion, and participate in cultural activities.
The organization offers resources such as free downloads of traditional songs, including notable collections like "50 låtar efter Gås-Anders" and "57 låtar efter Byss-Kalle." These collections serve as a means to preserve and disseminate the region's musical heritage.
