Sweden is an incredibly rich country in terms of music, with many internationally renowned musicians and producers / songwriters. Sometimes, even I'm amazed when I listen to the radio here in Malaysia and get hooked on a new song , which in the end often prove to be either a Swedish production or a song sang by a Swedish artist. I can't help but to be a bit proud of all the talented artists in Sweden that has such a leading but also unique style in terms of art and music. I think that music for us Swedes is such a matter of course and if you think about it, music truly exist everywhere in the Swedish society. For an example, I don't think I've ever been in a country where there are so many different music programs on television as in Sweden. We also have our local music schools where I think most children have tried an instrument or two. I myself, played the piano for a few years which I unfortunately stopped doing when I became a teenager and discovered that there were other exciting things in life to do than to play piano. And if you as a Swede haven't played any instrument, then maybe you 've been singing in one of the many choirs that exist in every city in Sweden. No matter your relationship with music, I think most of us would agree that music is something very important and significant for us humans. And because of this, the music will be an important part of my cafe here in Penang and since it is a Swedish cafe, all the music played will have some sort of Swedish connection. Below you can find some further links and info about Swedish music and no matter where in the world you live, you will probably have heard of or recognize some of the artists and songs mentioned in the links. The Swedish artists played on the radio in Malaysia right now is primarily Icona Pop, Avicii, Swedish House Mafia and Robyn. In my Cafè there will be many more artists from different genres to discover, and of course also those artists who only sings in Swedish.
