Various - From Sweden To America Emigrant Och Immigrantvisor Emigrant And Immigrant Songs
Review by HIROSHI MATSUSHITA
From Sweden To America Emigrant Och Immigrantvisor Emigrant And Immigrant Songs by Various is a beautiful album that tells the story of the Swedish migration to America. The album features a collection of traditional Swedish folk songs that were popular among the immigrants who left Sweden in the late 19th and early 20th centuries to start a new life in America.
The album is a perfect blend of traditional Swedish folk music and American folk music, and the songs are sung in both Swedish and English. The album features some of the most popular Swedish folk songs of all time, including "Den Blomstertid Nu Kommer," "Ack Värmeland, Du Sköna," and "Så Går Vi Runt Om Ett Ensomt Träd."
The album also features some original songs that were written by Swedish immigrants who wanted to express their feelings about leaving their homeland and starting a new life in America. These songs are heartfelt and emotional, and they give listeners a glimpse into the struggles and triumphs of the Swedish immigrants who helped build America.
