Gött :P Same old Väsen as always :) Twisting the tunes more than the most :P I played with them in the Folkmusic Festival of Linköping, my hometown. Looking forward to hear them again :))
These guys continue to be highly entertaining, year after year. 25th Anniversary concert for them this coming October. Saw them last night, always a great show.
Actually it is Söderbloms Polska -it is on Vasen's album " Linnaeus Vasen" . What an underestimated talent this band are -all superb musicians. Cheers from Sydenham Nigel
Emlovina It is true that the nyckelharpa is nowadays played in several countries. The chromatic nyckelharpa (enabling tunes in all keys), the type that Johansson is playing, was constructed in the early 30's by August Bohlin, a crofter and musician from Uppland. Earlier version of the instrument exists but are limited to certain keys.
please i dont understand is this scottish or irish music (it sounds) , or it is swedish music (does not sound swedish) ? And why the word polska wich is polish ?????? Bitte ?
I'm sure plenty of people have - at dance events, perhaps... The guys have taken dance music and made it interesting and entertaining for the concert audience. Two different ways of enjoying music!
