Title: Super Genius Benny Andersson's (ABBA) New Christmas Song Post by: Mendota Heights on November 26, 2012, 02:26:16 PM Swedish super genius Benny Andersson has just released a new Christmas song co-written with his old partner-in-crime Björn Ulvaeus (also of ABBA fame).
It is called Tomten har åkt hem (translation: Santa Claus has gone home) and it can be found here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BqLt8Bn7BM0 Anyone into this type of music? I absolutely love it. :) Title: Re: Benny Andersson's (ABBA) New Christmas Song Post by: pixletwin on November 26, 2012, 02:29:53 PM I love ABBA and a Christmas album is the only thing missing from their discography. I like this one. Thanks for posting. :)

And so am I. :)Title: Re: Super Genius Benny Andersson's (ABBA) New Christmas Song Post by: Jukka on November 30, 2012, 04:08:32 PM Ah yes, I read somewhere that Arrival's title track is also deeply rooted in Swedish folk music. Certainly sounds like it. Soeaking of Swedish folk music and Swedish keyboard gurus, Jan Johansson's Jazz på Svenska is one killer album.
