Vasen September 24, 2008

The Swedish word Vasen has three meanings -- essence, spirit, and hullabaloo -- making it the perfect name for a band that is part Nordic tradition and part whirling dervish. Rooted in the musical traditions of Uppland, Sweden, Vasen transforms venerable polskas and marches into modern groove masterpieces, all the while retaining the consummate playing skills and ageless appeal of the best traditional music.
