Hans Dalén

Swedish author, translator, musician and songwriter, born 1958. Dalén grew up in Ljungbyhed in northwestern Skåne and went to high school in Klippan, where he met some of the other music enthusiasts who in 1976 formed the still active band Torsson. Dalén mainly played drums but also organ, guitar and bass. Together with the band's singer Bo Åkerström, he wrote the classic "Det spelades bättre boll". After the first LP, Hans Dalén left Torsson for university studies in Lund but has continued to contribute with songs, e.g. "Danmark" and "Alla rätt" to a single in 1995.
