Henrik Eriksson is the frontman and main motif of the painting we call Fatang. He has many years of experience playing the Nyckelharpa both on stage and in diverse teaching environments. His style can be characterized as "crisp" and he plays in the tradition of, among others, August Bohlin and Eric Sahlström. He is a world champion and renown key harp instrumentalist.

Peter Rousu is a painter of chords, who together with Olle gives new perspectives and meaning to the traditional melodies of their music. His arrangements strive for the ultimate "riff" or the most perfect bass lines. Peter has been a jazz and rock musician in his past. You can definitely hear it!

Olle Bohm has brought a renewing force to folk music. He plays a variety of classical percussion instruments along with African drums. He seems to have one foot in the orchestra pit and one foot on Africa's savanna, creating a music that is the best of both worlds. Olle grew up in a folk music family where both his parents were part of the well known group, Norrtälje Elitkapell!
