A Memory for Life
In celebration of Vietnam’s liberation in 1975 we named our music collective Ett Minne för Livet (A Memory for Life). We started to do some concerts together, did some ambitious teaching projects of world music with the groups. Here are some photos by Karl-Erik Tallmo from one at Fasching:
We released a four LP albums under our own label:
MILP 001 Å, Än är det Glädje och Än är det Sorg with Marie Selander and Styrbjörn Bergelt,
MILP 002 Allemansrätt with ISKRA
MILP 003 Bengt Berger och Kjell Westling Spelar with Bengt Berger och Kjell Westling and MILP 004 Röster Från Alla Land with Vargavinter
Swedish TV broadcasted one of our concerts together
In 1978 (I think) our musicians Ett Minne för Livet did a concert together at the Cultural House in Stockholm that was taped by Swedish Television and broadcasted later that year. We were the groups Iskra, Vargavinter, Spjärnsvallet and Archimedes.
