Symbio is regarded as one of the most prominent new bands from the Swedish Folk & World music scene. With their strong stage presence, original compositions, and a magical interplay of hurdy- gurdy and accordion - the duo surprises their audience and takes them on a moving musical journey.

The music of Symbio has been described as musical storytelling where folk, minimalistic art music and electronic dance music meets and becomes a cinematic experience for the listener. During concerts the duo perform with both seriousness and joy, telling personal and vivid stories about the music. Through a playful, energetic and close interaction Symbio creates new music where two becomes more.

The duo was awarded as ”Best Newcomer of the Year” at the Swedish Folk & World Music awards in 2016, and received the "Scholarship for young music ensembles” from the Royal Swedish Academy of Music in the same year. Since the release of their debut album ”Phoresy” (2016) they have been touring extensively in Sweden and 20 different European countries. Their second album ”Rising” was released in September 2018 and has been highly acclaimed by international critics. In 2019 the duo was chosen by the Swedish National radio to represent Sweden at the EBU Radio Folk Festival at Rudolstadt Festival, Germany. Symbio is chosen as official showcase artist at the Folk Alliance International USA 2020 - the world ́s largest gathering of folk & roots music industry. Symbio will have copies of its newly released album during this tour.
