Bunny hop? or jenka?

0 comments

A while ago I came across this video of Swedish students doing a line dance version of the "jenka" ("jenkka" in Finnish) and noticed how similar the dance is to the American novelty dance, the bunny hop.

Turning pop into polska

I've always said that a hallmark of a truly great melody is that it can cross genres.
I recently came across this fun example of turning a Swedish pop song into a Swedish polska.

The tune is "Ring Ring", an ABBA tune off of their album of the same name (when the group was known as "Björn [...]

Peder and the Ulv

On New Year's Day my local PBS station showed the stop-animation (also known as model animation) film Peter and the Wolf and I had the pleasure of watching it in HD. Wow!
And then I discovered that it has a Scandinavian connection. The special effects shots in the film were done by Storm Studio, based in Oslo, Norway.

What is a bunad?

0 comments

In the Nordic countries, there is no one single "national costume" that represents the entire country, so using the term "national costume" is incorrect.
