As a old friend of my from long back ago and someone that have lived close to him in over 40 years I can only say that he is deeply missed of a lot of people. And yes his Skånska is hard for people outsider this region to understand. But the accent is only one off many down her in the south. Peps is the one playing harmonica on this song, something he was more then good at, probably one off the 10 best in the world. And he was a genius when it comes to music. And he always said, it’s all rhythm no matter what you play. He was a nice man. No will for fame and money, he just loved music.
Yep, his southern accent is so thick that even some Swedes does not grasp it! I love it! :) Also, this is very well played blues, "old school way". Peps plays the harmonica, and it is world class. He listened to a lot of the old harmonica players and you can definitely hear the influence of Sonny Boy Williamson. If you want to hear more of Peps playing the blues, I highly recommend his collaboration with Nisse Hellberg (from Wilmer X) on the record "Röster från Södern". Two "swedish southerners" doing some really good stuff. The name "Blodsband" is btw a word play. Band is like in English, it is a band. When you add "Blod", that is hinting on family ties OR what you think of as family. Bloodties.
En annan svensk bluespionjär som fortfarande är aktiv, också med en utpräglad dialekt men från Stockholm, är Rolf "Roffe" Wikström. Grym sångare, gitarrist och en riktigt skön snubbe. Många låtar att välja mellan men kanske "Allt är gjort av plåt" eller "Kom till mig kvinna" till exempel
Peps ❤ På temat, här kommer fler skånska klassiker: Det snurrar i min skalle - Familjen Kalle på Spången eller Jag har bott vid en landsväg - Edvard Persson Du vill så du kan eller En varning - Svenska akademien Ingenting går upp mot gamla Skåne - Siw Malmkvist Änglahund - Hasse Andersson Flickan och kråkan - Mikael Wiehe Living in America - The Sounds Bandstarter- Brainpool
Broooo your smile an laugh when you listen to this bangers is so so real and “smittande” Makes my morning a happy one every time! Tip: if you press the “space”-key you don’t have to navigate the mouse to the “pause”-button and the you can simply hit the left arrow key to rewind 3 seconds. (Might be wrong but, looks like you sometimes struggle hitting the play/pause button) Love your shieet bro 😎
Jag har varit på många gig med Peps blodsband och hela huset gungade. Helt fantastiska och ALLA "lost their shit" på dansgolvet....Don't underestimate the passion of the Swede😏
Ah, super political Swedish 70s, nearly always socialist. Mikael Wiehe - Titanic, and Hoola Bandoola band - Keops pyramid are two other gems from that era. Björn Afzelius - Sång till friheten isn't very political, but still a gem from that movement.
Sång till friheten är naturligtvis jättepolitisk. Jag menar... Rättvisan är din broder, freden är din syster, kampen är din fader, framtiden ditt ansvar. Han sjunger liksom inte om Finnkampen.
Peps did a cover of Bob Marley's "Steer it up" that you might want to react to as well. And you really have to check out Kal P. Dal, if you want more of the accent.
Swedes can really let go when it comes to music. But most often it is with more niche music that is not so maine strem, after which only dedicated fans gather, I was at a concert in Gothenburg a while ago maybe 150 in the audience, a bunch of musicians unknown to me came on stage , damn what professionals and damn what they got the room to rock, they clearly noticed that this was just about a love of music and the audience, nothing about becoming a super star who wants to sell as much as possible. But I can imagine that some of the more popular artists can also get the whole audience in euphoria.
Jag tror du skulle gilla ett band som Movits! De har flera svenska klassiker så som: Äppelknyckarjazz, Limousin , Fel del av gården, Na Na nah!, Halvägs.
Oh, I love the 70's! 😍 It seems like even the Swedes were more openminded back then.😅 Här kommer mer förslag: Jag blir hellre jagad av vargar, med Orup! Eller är kanske Orup en artist som man kan köra helkväll till? 😃
Really nice song! I would like to hear a reaction to Afasi & Filthy - Jobb, if you haven't heard it already :), also Loa Falkman - Symfonin and Jan Malmsjö - Vår Bästa Tid Är Nu, those are really good songs and are definitely classics.
Here is Peps and blodsbandet live. And her you can see Bosse Skoglund, Peps best friend and his brother in “crime”. Bosse sadly passed away to but I think you will find it hard to find any musician who don’t think he is the best drummer Sweden ever had. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-zR4A-Ef2hOM.html
Några klassiker: David Shutrick - Container, David Shutrick - Finland, Popsicle - Not forever, Pauline - Runnin' out of gas, Björn Afzelius - Tusen bitar, Herreys - Diggilo diggiley (melodifestivalenvinnare och Eurovisionvinnare), Lill Lindfors - Jag tycker inte om dig (sympati).
Det har funnits flera bra bluesband i Sverige, men det har inte blivit så mycket skivor och än mindre musik med stor spridning. Speciellt Södertälje har haft bl a Telge Blues och Chicago Express med delvis samma artister inblandade. Flera lever inte längre. Lokalt mycket populära, men inte nationella klassiker. Mest kända bluessångare är väl Peps, Totta Näslund, Svenne Zetterberg, Roffe Wikström. En doldis men veteran är Göran Wiklund! När det gäller Peps reggae-musik är "Hög standard" och "Hyreskasern" definitivt klassiker! Ett annat svenskt reggae-band på 1980-talet var Dag Vag. Minst två stora klassiker: "Tjockhult" och "Dimma". En cover på Tore Skogman och Lill-Babs "Popitop" var också populär. De gjorde även en cover på världens första rap-låt, Evert Taubes "Kinesiska muren" (dikten hette egentligen "Muren och böckerna") från 1960. Nog så aktuell idag! Ytterligare ett band med reggae-influenser var Aston Reymers Rivaler: "Godis är gott" och "Stockholms ström" var mest populära.
Also, it is sad you will never experience neither Peps or Wilmer X live, from back in the days. Some musicians/bands are simply better live - and from the live concerts with these... they blew the roof of the building. Peps with his feeling and if Wilmer X got the rock´n roll train running, nothing would stand in their way.
Några andra riktiga klassiker jag kan rekommendera: Aston Reymers rivaler - 'Godis är gott' Tommy Nilsson och Tone Norum - 'Allt som jag känner' Weeping wilows - 'Blue and alone' Anna-Lena Löfgren - 'Lyckliga gatan' Harry Brandelius - 'Nordsjön' Tommy Nilsson - Öppna din dörr 'Sång till friheten' - This is a real classic! I prefer the version of Jill Larsdotter, but if you like the Swedish southern dialect (Skånska) you can do the original version by Björn Afzelius.
Jag kollade dina gamla videos och ser att du inte reagerat på FRÄMLING med Carola! Den är definitionen av en klassiker. Det var så hon slog igenom, i Melodifestivalen 1983. Hon var 16 år och vann mello, och kom 3:a i Eurovision.
You need to react to "Open your heart" with Europe. And these José Gonzales: Heartbeats Rebecca & Fiona: Bullets Josefin Nilsson: Heaven and hell Titiyo o Kleerup: Longing for lullabies Laleh: Live tomorrow Lambretta: Bimbo Linda Sundblad: Oh father Mange Scmidt: Giftig Moneybrother: They're building walls around us Niki & the dove: Somebody Norlie och KKV: När jag går ner Pauline: Give me a call Swingfly: Me and my drum Thåström: Fanfanfan
RIP Peps and Totta (who is hard to find a place for on this list even though he deserves it a lot) Here Peps with Tottas Bluesband ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-uldh19BCb6I.html
Gillar du bluesrock på skånska så ska du lyssna på Wilmer X. Det är Sveriges bästa bluesrockband tillsammans med Peps. Här är en länk till en konsert med Peps & Bloodsbandet Live. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-c3h9OjmdmLQ.html
