"The Diablo Swing Orchestra dates back to 1501 in Sweden, where history
tells the tale of an orchestra that played like no other. With music so
seductive and divine that the ensemble overwhelmed audiences all over
the country, and people from all social classes took them to their
hearts. Their performances rapidly earned a reputation of being feral
and vigorous and gained the orchestra a devoted crowd that followed
them around.
During the later half of the 16'th century the criticism against the
royal crown dictatorial ruling had intensified. Gifts and tenancies had
made the chruch extremely wealthy, and since the money merely was used
to strengthen their power the discontent among the people was growing.
To many people the orchestra presented them to a new view upon things
and a way to cope with everyday life."(The story continues through the centuries on myspace.)
