Hemallt

About Me

Hemållt - folk music from the west coast of Sweden.Put together a musical brew based on the folk music tradition from the group’s home county of Bohuslän, add a good measure of flavouring from Norway and the British Isles, and you have captured the essence of what Hemållt is all about.The members of the group have been playing together since 1989 and have delighted audiences in Scandinavia and around Europe with their humour and enthusiasm. Whirling polskas, wild rock’n’roll “tripp-waltzes”, and the odd rolling “halling” whisk up audiences to the dance floor. If you manage to catch your breath, you’ll notice the distinct tang of malt whisky, North Sea seaweed and Norwegian woolen jumpers!On their debut album, Hin Hales Harvedrag (”The Devil’s Bow-Scrape”), the trio gave the Swedish repertoire a good dusting-off and cranked up the tempo and energy. So even if “hemållt” means, “homely” and “cosy” in the Bohuslän dialect, perhaps “swinging” might best describe their gigs and the album.Hemållt demo

My Interests

Music:

Member Since: 11/10/2007
Band Website: www.hemallt.se
Band Members: The members of Hemållt are:________________________________________________________ ___________________Christer Ådin – mandola, mandolin, melodeon and Jew’s harp. Musician and instrument builder, Christer often chooses unconventional musical pathways. He is a musician with a sharp and sensitive ear who sees his role as contributing the weft to the warp of the tune. On the mandola or the mandolin, he weaves with subtle melodies, counter-melodies and accompaniment. But sometimes he takes to the melodeon to supplement the fiddle melody, adding a Celtic dimension to the folk music of Bohuslän. Read more about Christer’s instrument building on www.luthiers.nu.____________________________________________ _______________________________Mia Gunberg Ådin – fiddle and vocals. Mia has been playing music since her childhood and has performed live for over three decades. One of the foremost string players in Bohuslän’s folk music, Mia’s fiddle playing is characterized by loads of drive, passion and energy. She nourishes her strong interest in old traditions by listening to and recording the music of the few remaining bearers of local traditional music. In doing so, she herself assumes a place in their ranks, thus ensuring that these traditions live on. ____________________________________________________________ ______________Anders Ådin - guitar, hurdy-gurdy and vocals. Anders is one of the few professional hurdy-gurdy players in Sweden and he sets no limits for what one can do with this instrument. One might almost assume that the hurdy-gurdy had always been an obvious part of the local folk music tradition. Anders guitar playing alternates between Nordic finger-picking techniques and rhythmic polska accompaniment. Personality and feeling are central elements in his vocals. Anders, who is also educated as a music teacher, always has a bunch of different projects on the go. If you are interested in purchasing a hurdy-gurdy, or want information on any of Anders’ other projects take a look at www.gitarrknarr.se._________________________________________ ____________________________________ kort trea sett

Lite recensioner för den som nyfiken..

Det här är låtar utan krångel och tillgjordhet. Pang på rödbetan bara, det svänger som bara den, det rycker i dansbenen och man har svårt att sitta stilla: Det är härligt! Musiken är huvudsakligen frå...
