Ljus Från Afrika
In 1976, Swedish progressive folk-rock band Kebnekaise released their most audacious statement: Ljus från Afrika (Light from Africa), an album that traded their familiar Nordic melodies for an entirely African repertoire. What could have been cultural appropriation instead became something more nuanced—a document of genuine musical exchange that emerged from years of collaboration and friendship. The album's genesis lies in the band's relationship with Hassan Bah, a percussionist from Guinea-Con…
