Three musicians with backgrounds in folk and world music, tango, pop, jazz, film and theater music in an unpredictable meeting.
 

Nord/Långbacka/Dahl is a trio formed by three musicians exploring their own path in a time where musical grounds are merging and moving.

Their music reveals the members' individual playing styles and their backgrounds in classical, folk, pop, world, tango and cinematic art music.
