Vasen
Hailed as 'the significant Swedish export since the Vikings,' Vasen returns celebrating their most recent release, a combination DVD/CD entitled 'Live pa Gamla Bion' ('Live at the Old Cinema') recorded last July in their homeland. Hunched like giant trolls over their instruments, Swedish nyckelharpa (keyed fiddle), viola and guitar, Vasen magically & mesmerizingly perform traditional and original tunes written in traditional styles. As 'Wired Magazine phrased it, ' the sound may be traditional but the attitude is completely modern, mixing up the ideas of folk, the virtuosity of prog and the humor of the insane asylum into a cuisinart of acoustic bliss. Visualize whirled music.' National Public Radio's 'All Things Considered' raved, "The absurdly broad term 'world music' is rendered useless in the face of these musicians who play with such genuine passion and glee that everything on the globe seems to disappear except their home fires. This is 'local music' in the best sense of the word - believable, human-scaled and fluent in the international language of interplay." Don't delay. Get your tickets tout de swede.
