Gunnar Hahn (b. 1905, d. 2001 in Stockholm) was a composer, arranger and performer with a special interest in songs, entertainment music
and folk music. In 1932 he made his debut as a pianist in Stockholm, and since 1936 he led his own ensembles
in the performance of folk and dance music for Swedish Radio. Hahn has always had a strong interest in the music
of Northern Sweden and is remembered especially for finding ways of arranging and performing folk music at a time
when it was not considered acceptable for radio broadcast because it was "out of tune!"
