Hazelius Hedin

JOHAN HEDIN and ESBJÖRN HAZELIUS are each among the formost folk musicians of Sweden today, and have ever since the formation of the duo Hazelius Hedin in 2008 made a great impact on the Scandinavian folk scene.
With the sounds of the nyckelharpa, octave nyckelharpa, cittern, guitar and violino d'amore along with Esbjörn’s heart-warming voice, Hazelius Hedin evoke their unmistakable, deeply touching version of the Swedish folk music, offering the listener a winding journey through the borderland between past and present.
Esbjörn Hazelius and Johan Hedin both grew up in the south of Sweden, where the traditional couple dance polska is prevailing. 
Hazelius Hedin´s most recent album SILVERDALEN ( Silver Valley ) 2022 is a collection of music from widely different eras. Medieval ballads, emigrant songs, peasants tall tales and dance tunes from the 17th, 18th and 19th centuries along with new composed instrumental an vocal music create a liberating span.
