The Lingonberries are a bilingual (English and Swedish) three-women/one man a cappella quartet based in Ottawa, Canada. Their repertoire centers around traditional Swedish folk songs, although three of the four recently moved to Canada from Sweden and audiences are hearing more and more English lyrics lately. There are 12 songs, all with Swedish titles, nice harmonies and the women's pure, sweet voices soar over the anchoring bass of the man. A brief paragraph in English follows each selection, giving us the meaning of each song. Enjoyable and celebratory choral music by some of our talented friends in the north country. |
