SOUND 212
LIVE ACTS
TOTTE MATTSSON
FRIDAY 21.30 @ OUTDOORS STAGE
Musician and professor in sound and music production at Högskolan Dalarna. He was one of the early pioneers in developing Swedish folk music, mixing tradition with modern music technology which resulted in the internationally acclaimed band Hedningarna.
In his performance ”the Monster in paradise” that we will experience at this years Bohusfest, Totte gives us an audio visual experience. He plays the medieval instrument the Hurdy Gurdy and uses live samling and loops to create suggestive soundscapes. To his musical performance we will see visuals based on painting by Hieronymus Bosch to create a mystical and medieval experience.
Hurdy gurdy:
A hurdy-gurdy is a stringed musical instrument that produces sound by a hand-cranked, rosined wheel rubbing against the strings, acting like a mechanical violin bow, while keys change the melody notes, and drone strings provide a continuous bass, similar to a bagpipe.
It’s origins in the middle east and Europe in the 9th century.
TRIO SONEROS
SATURDAY 20.30 @ OUTDOOR STAGE
With the singer and percussionist Ruben Millet Herrera from Guantanamo in Cuba, plays traditional Cuban music such as Son and Salsa Cubana.

We are very proud to present this incredible band with their mix of Swedish folk, world, afro, blues and rock! Since 1990, Den Fule has been a force to be reckoned with on the Scandinavian folk and world music scene. They were awarded a Swedish Grammis in 1993 for our debut album Lugumleik and have since released three albums: Skalv in 1995, Halling i Köket in 2007, and Contrebande in 2012. In addition to Scandinavia, they have toured in Germany, the USA, India, Turkey, and Senegal. And now they will make their way to Bohuslän! And now even uglier than ever, Den Fule means "The Ugly One" in Swedish.
