Triakel plays Swedish folk songs. The music is low-key but charged and the vocals the heart of the soundscape.
Triakel consists of Emma Härdelin, vocals/violin, Kjell-Erik Eriksson, violin and Janne Strömstedt, harmonium.
Since its inception in 1995, the group has toured over 20 countries. Concerts at everything from large music festivals to small village halls. From 1000s of listeners to 10s. In the ice hotel in Jukkasjärvi and in the library in Alexandria. Triakel’s characteristic expression captures the audience and attracts laughter and tears. Music that touches.
Triakel plays Swedish folk songs, often originating in Jämtland or Hälsingland, which are the members’ hometowns. The music is low-key but charged and the vocals the heart of the soundscape. Acoustic, intimate and simple but also intense and impactful.
Triakel has recorded seven full-length albums that have received warm receptions from both press and audience. The group’s latest album, Händelser i Nord, consists of broadside ballads from the North of Sweden, songs written around real life stories.
