Musikrörelsen - Den Svenska Proggen

Musikrörelsen - Den Svenska Proggen is a storytelling live-documentary concert about Sweden in the 1970s, presented by Stig Jäderberg.

Born from political frustration and musical experimentation, a movement emerged in the 1970s that became known as Musikrörelsen - Swedish prog. The performance spans from Hansson&Karlsson to Tältprojektet, encountering Pugh, Contact, Träd Gräs och Stenar, Bo Hansson, John Holm, Monica Törnell, Blå Tåget, Hoola Bandoola Band, Nationalteatern, Nynningen, Marie Selander, Kebnekajse, Samla Mammas Manna, Ola Magnell, Turid and many others. We also follow how alternative record labels like Silence and MNW challenged established companies such as Sonet and Metronome - and how growing political dogmatism ultimately led to the movement's collapse.

The performance weaves together storytelling, visual projections (live clips, film footage, photographs) and songs performed with vocals, acoustic guitar, electric guitar and harmonica.
