English Version

Since 1996, Arcana have been one of the leading bands in its genre.
Peter Bjärgö (then Pettersson) started creating the music of Arcana after years of playing different kinds of music. The early idea of the music was based on the romantic image around the middle ages, through Peter’s own personal view.
For the first three releases, Ida Bengtsson joined Peter as the lead female vocal, and the band grew its fan base all over the world.
In 2001, Ann-Mari Thim replaced Ida Bengtsson as the new lead female vocalist and at the same time Stefan Eriksson started on keyboard and additional instruments.
After the fourth release Peter Bjärgö left Cold Meat Industry, the first label of Arcana, to start an own label.
The main reason was to preserve the personal touch of the music, Peter’s own sound and feelings, his creative independence.
In 2003 Peter wife, Cecilia Bjärgö, also joined the band on vocals and in 2006 Mattias Borgh entered the band as percussionist.
In 2010 the band expanded when Núria Luis and Sergio Gamez Martinez (Narsilion, Der Blaue Reiter, Endless Asylum) joined Arcana on stage and since then the music is pure authentic with no backtracks.
Today, the music is still made by Peter Bjärgö alone. But the band all joins when it comes to rythms, vocals and lyrics. The graphics of the albums have always been important.
Not only the music should speak to the audience, but also the artwork.
Cecilia Bjärgö is responsible for all layout, and sometimes she is joined by other artists in the process.
The man behind it all is still Peter Bjärgö, the composer and producer of the music. The music has changed from album to album and today you can hear sounds from all parts of the world since the instruments Peter use are global.
