Fatang

The Swedish trio FATANG plays traditional folk music from the province of Uppland as well as their own new compositions. Their mix of key fiddle (nyckelharpa), modern electric bass / guitar, and an exotic variety of percussion makes for an exciting sound with limitless possibilities. Their intense and imaginative music is full of magical resonance and inviting dance rhythms.

Fatang

Right out of the starting gate, Fatang stakes its territory with a distinctive sound and identity entirely its own, and although it might be taken as an overabundance of local patriotism on my part, I don't hesitate for a moment to give Fatang the highest marks for their very successful mix of traditional tunes, exotic percussion and jazzy rhythms. Just listen how the trio gives an airy latin feel to the Karl XII waltz—Olle Bohm's drums and Peter Rousu's easy going electric fusion bass behind Henrik Eriksson's sensitive silvery tones on the nyckelharpa. It is magnificent! Uppland music in a totally new light. The same can be said for Bohlinpolska as well as Brostugan. The trio writes some excellent material of their own too, built on solid traditional foundations..
