Two of Sweden’s most established folk musicians make up the duo Hazelius Hedin.

Debutalbum in April 2011!!!

They sing and play their Swedish folk music with passion, rare ease and unquestionable presence - it’s impossible
to remain unaffected.
Esbjörn Hazelius and Johan Hedin both grew up in the south of Sweden, where the traditional couple dance slängpolska is
prevailing. But they search all over Sweden for their repertoire, which includes everything from medieval ballads, sailor songs,love ballads and instrumental dance tunes. Moreover, Hazelius
and Hedin pass on the tradition through their own compositions. They arrange the music carefully often inspired by Esbjörn’s Irish tradition of music arranging, and they constantly look for new
instrumental harmonies.
