The final once again takes place at the Friends Arena in Stockholm, and at the end of Saturday’s programme, we will know who will represent Sweden at the Eurovision Song Contest. As you should know […]
Last week’s third Mello heat brought quite a shock, when our (and the bookies’) early favorite Dotter had to leave the competition. The direct qualifiers were the oh-so-mediocre Martin Almgren and the first female artist to reach the final (about time!), Jessica Anderson. But let’s turn to the fourth and final heat and see if […]

Trekillar is a music trio, who are bringing the colourful sounds of the traditional Mexican music to Sweden in their very unique way. The band is formed by Rene on the violin, Niklas on the guitarrón and Alejandro on the vihuela. Although it hasn’t been so easy for a band like them, playing such a […]
