Tá an oiread sin measa acu ar Väsen i mBloomington, Indiana, go bhfuil sráid ainmnithe ina ndiaidh acu. Tá ceol na dtriúr Sualannach seo idir íogair agus fhíorfhuinniúil, an comhcheangal foirfe de thrí “ghuth” ionstraimeach, an vióla agus giotár 12-théad atá tiúnta ar dhóigh mhalartach.
They love Väsen so much in Bloomington, Indiana, that they’ve named a street after them. The Swedish trio’s music is a force of nature, both delicate and intensely energetic, it is the perfect marriage of three instrumental “voices”, the nyckelharpa, the viola and an alternatively-tuned 12-string guitar. Olov Johansson’s nyckelharpa is central to the group. Unique to Sweden, its combination of fiddle-style bowing, keys and strings, produces a singing sound like no other instrument. Johansson and violist Mikael Marin met as teenagers in 1980 and quickly began to develop a musical kinship. When they met guitarist Roger Tallroth in 1989, they found their ideal rhythmical partner, creating music that was rooted in tradition, yet remarkably new.
