ハーモニカだけでありとあらゆる音楽を演奏してしまう、スーパー個性派の４人組がフィンランドからやってきます。
手にはジュラルミンケース、指には金銀ピカピカの特大リング、全員スーツをビシっと決めて颯爽と奏でられるのは、北欧に伝わる伝統音楽から、タンゴにブルース、ラグタイム、果てはショパンまで。楽しいひと時をお届けします。

日本語

Omnivorous harmonica band! Sväng!


``Sveng'' can play all kinds of music using just a harmonica, from Balkan music to Scandinavian trad, Finnish tango, melancholy Russian trad, Miyazaki anime theme songs, Chopin and Sibelius.


Formed in 2003 at the prestigious Sibelius Academy, Eero Turca is the band's founder and composes most of the repertoire, Eero Grundstrum is an expert in improvisation, and Yoko Kulla is a professor at the Sibelius Academy. , consists of four members, including Pasi Reino, who plays the bass harmonica and is respected by many harmonica players. The four members take full advantage of their respective strengths and take great joy in the music they play as a group.In addition to performing at numerous music festivals including La Folle Journe Nantes, they have also recorded numerous CDs. , their 2020 album “IN TRAD WE TRUST” was also selected as the best album by the prestigious British SONGLINES magazine.


This time, they have brought to you Chopin's ``Eroic Polonaise,'' the Ghibli movie ``Howl's Moving Castle,'' and the Japanese nursery rhyme ``Aka Dragonfly.'' Please enjoy the harmonica sound that gives off infinite charm.



We are also working hard on composing and rehearsing for our next album. And our band continues to develop its sound to make it even more interesting and acceptable as an acoustic-only sound. When we hear people come to hear us and say, ``That was really good,'' or ``I've never heard anything like this before,'' we feel proud of the path we've taken. I strongly feel that this is not wrong.Pasi (bass harmonica player)
