Väsenmedalj till Magnus Gustafsson
Magnus Gustafsson, spelman, musikforskare etc. från Nöbbele, Växjö erhöll historiens första Väsenmedalj.
Motivering: "Historiens första Väsenmedalj tilldelas Magnus Gustafsson för hans mångåriga och enastående gärning som spelman, inspiratör, musikforskare, utbildare, musikadministratör samt författare. För oss i Väsen har Magnus alltid varit en av de goda krafterna inom svensk folkmusik med sin djuplodande kunskap om vår genre. Därför är det med stolthet vi har den stora äran att hänga vår medalj kring halsen på denna småländska hedersknyffel!

Mindset (2013)
New CD out: "Mindset"

Mindset reflects very much where the trio is musically at the moment. A set of original tunes with big variations. A band more tuned in to each other, more inventive and more skilled than ever before.

Högsta betyg för jubileumsalbum - Upsala Nya Tidningen
Lika mycket övertygar samspelet, rörelsen, tekniken. - Hallandsposten 
Det låter flödigt och svängigt, ljust och medryckande. - Dagens Nyheter 
Väsen Street is a new recording with Väsen as a trio. Olov Johansson, Roger Tallroth and Mikael Marin have toured together for 20 years and are now celebrating with this new recording. It’s a mixed repertoire with new composed material, old Väsen favorites not recorded earlier and some traditional Uppland tunes. Väsen Street is the street in Bloomington, Indiana that Team Väsen is working to get named after us. They have already made the street sign! It’s also the imaginary street where we and all our fellow musicians, friends and fans meet to have fun with this music. |
