Symbio

Friday/Saturday
Genre: Hurdy Gurdy Meets Accordion
Location: Sweden

LarsEmil Öjeberget and Johannes Geworkian Hellman are Symbio, an imaginative and soulful  meeting of virtuoso folk music and electronic dance music that results in dreamy soundscapes and hypnotic beats. They may be a duo — with Öjeberget on accordion, stamp-box, and electronics, and Hellman on hurdy-gurdy and electronics — but the Symbio sound is deceptively expansive. Their latest album, “Endeavor,” won Best Album of the Year at the Swedish Folk and World Music Awards in 2023. “Charged with energy and a fascinating mix of irresistible grooves, virtuosity, and finesse” (FolkClub Prisma).
