Invite The Lingonberries and add an international flavor to your Christmas celebration! There are a couple of carols we know, "Det Ar En Ros Utsprungen" (the traditional German carol "Lo How a Rose E'er Blooming") and "Stilla Natt/Silent Night." Listening to "Nar Det Lider Mot Jul," "Hosianna," ""Goder Afton," "Lusse Lella," "Nu Tandas Tusen Juleljus" or "Bereden Vag For Herran"-for the first time out of context, we would still know from the phrasing, and the feeling that comes through the singers that they are Christmas songs. But listening to "Jul, Jul" we realized that the language difference means very little here. Glue together the clay pot, Finnish woman, you feel so melancholic. Come and soften the acidity, my heart to yours butter.
Review: Swedish 3-woman, 1-man folk quartet The Lingonberries bring us their second sweet, melodic CD, "Swedish Christmas Songs." Twelve songs, (which has always seemed to us the best number for a Christmas CD) all sung in Swedish. I am a woman as the Kalevala, Marjatta, full of sour lingon berries. Lingonberries : Winter - Swedish Christmas Songs Our Organic Whole Wild Lingonberries are high in antioxidants, boosting your immune system and treating UTI. The group took its name from the Swedish word "lingon", a very sweet and tasty berry commonly found in most areas of Sweden. It's not uncommon for the group to perform the first verse in English only to finish it off in Swedish, or vice versa. For instance, their Christmas program includes several songs traditionally sung both in Sweden and North America. While the group's repertoire is centered around traditional Swedish folk songs, The Lingonberries have recently added a number of English songs to their extensive repertoire. Within North America, interest in growing lingonberry plants for the commercial production of lingonberries is increasing due to the potential health benefits associated with lingonberries (discussed further in Section 27.4) and therefore more lingonberry plants are required for cultivation. In addition to their public appearances, The Lingonberries often entertain at private parties and functions.
They've also been featured on CBC TV Canada Now, Breakfast Television, NewRO News At 11, CJOH News At 6, CBC Radio's "Ottawa Morning", Rogers Television's "Daytime", The Ottawa Citizen and in the Ottawa Sun. The Lingonberries recently performed at the Museum of Civilization as part of the successful exhibit "Viking: The North Atlantic Saga". You might have seen them at local venues, including National Arts Centre 4th Stage, Rasputin's and The Elbow Room. Three of them moved to Canada fairly recently, only Helene moved from Sweden as a child and grew up in Canada. All four members are originally from Sweden.
That's bilingual as in English and Swedish. The Lingonberries are a bilingual a cappella quartet based in Ottawa.
