Bazar Blå is a trailblazing trio from Sweden, known for their innovative fusion of traditional Swedish folk with elements of world music and rhythms drawn from jazz, rock, and other modern genres. Consisting of Björn Meyer on bass, Johan Hedin on the nyckelharpa (a traditional Swedish keyed fiddle), and percussionist Fredrik Gille, Bazar Blå has been crafting its distinct sound since the group's formation in the mid-1990s. By incorporating electronic effects and non-traditional instruments into their arrangements, they've created a unique musical tapestry that resonates with both contemporary audiences and lovers of folk traditions.
Throughout their career, Bazar Blå has continued to experiment and evolve, which is evident in their discography, including albums like "Malmö 1999," a live recording that captures the band's dynamic stage presence, and "Twenty," a release that marked two decades of their musical journey, showcasing their maturity and depth. Their more recent works, "Lost," "Nysch," "Tripfolk," and "Nordic City," demonstrate their ongoing commitment to sonic exploration, blending acoustic sensibilities with electronic innovation and pushing the boundaries of the folk music genre. Bazar Blå's compelling performances and recordings continue to enchant a growing international audience, cementing their status as ambassadors of a new wave of Nordic folk music.
