Blidöpolska

Enjoy this, the likely last recording of The Real Group to feature Anders Edenroth singing. Blidöpolska was written by him as a capstone piece to his tenure in the group. And it has a beautiful story to go with it. As he said in this interview (translated from Swedish)

“A tribute to friendship, music, and summer, dedicated to my older brother who passed away from cancer. It is important to me and will be my very last song. It feels right to be personal as a conclusion.”

Anders Edenroth

It’s a dance, but melancholy. It’s joyful and sad and wistful and beautifully sung by The Real Group and Anders’ niece, Mika.
