The aim of SVäNG is to give a new life to the
extraordinary sound of harmonica band with music
that has not been played on this kind of band
before. The debut cd of SVäNG has succesfully
captured the fascinating feel of their energetic live
performances.
The harmonica has been important instrument for
Finnish folk players since 1850´s. Besides
traditional Finnish harmonica style SVäNG takes
influences of music from all around the world: The
unique sounding quartet plays Finnish tango and
folk music, but takes also influences of groovy
Balkan-style, Swedish hambo as well as old time -
fiddle dance tunes or rag time. Big part of the
repertuar is original works by the band members.
