"In Sweden you have Väsen. It's a traditional folkband based on the Nyckelharpa -- and it's really good music, very exciting, you must listen, it's fantastic music" --John Paul Jones/Led Zeppelin, from a interview in Dagens Industri Weekend May 19-20 2006

Väsen is a unique acoustic ensemble, based in the rural Swedish tradition, but with a contemporary attitude and an almost telepathic intensity.

Väsen features the nyckelharpa (a keyed fiddle unique to Sweden) along with viola, percussion and guitar. This band can create more electricity on their acoustic instruments than most rock bands can generate with their amps turned all the way up to "11." More than one rock critic has proclaimed them "the best band in the world".

This is acoustic ensemble playing at its best, with sounds that can connote classical string quartets at one moment and upbeat folk/pop another. This is music that is irresistible and unforgettable. This is Väsen.
