About Kongero:
This group is a revelation. The beauty of the four voices is equaled only by the pristine, flawless arrangements. They provide a stunning example of a marriage between the traditional and the innovative. This magical Swedish music very much deserves to be heard far and wide. - Jeff Meshel, Music journalist
Since their serendipitous formation in 2005 at a Nordic folk music conference, Kongero has become one of the most exciting and innovative voices in the world of folk and a cappella music. Composed of four extraordinary female vocalists—Lotta Andersson, Emma Björling, Sofia Hultqvist Kott, and Anna Wikénius—Kongero has toured extensively across Europe, Asia, and the Americas. Their performances have earned them a reputation for their ability to captivate audiences with their extraordinary vocal polyphony, expressive harmonies, and infectious rhythms.
Kongero’s unique genre, Swedish Folk'appella, blends traditional Swedish folk songs with fresh, modern a cappella arrangements. The group’s performances take audiences on a musical journey that spans moving love ballads, dramatic medieval tales, playful ditties, and lively dances. Their mastery of vocal technique and storytelling has earned them critical acclaim and a dedicated following worldwide. Kongero’s most recent album, Live in Longueuil, released in 2021, has been met with rave reviews.
