Benny Andersson Band – BAO – released a brand new album on September 27, 2024 – Alla kan dansa (Everyone can dance). Music by Benny Andersson and lyrics by Björn Ulvaeus. Helen and Tommy Körberg are responsible for the vocals and Benny Andersson is producing.
– Eight years since the last album, but better late than later! // Benny Andersson
Little did the motley group of musicians who gathered in the Metronome studio, now Atlantis Studio, in Stockholm in 2001 know that this was the starting point for one of Sweden’s most ambitious and multifaceted dance bands.
Today, 23 years later, we know that Benny Anderson had dialed in just the right mix of cheerful and curious musicians. Göran Arnberg – Keyboards, Janne Bengtson – Flute, piccolo and baritone sax, Jogga Ernlund – Double bass and electric bass, Pär Grebacken – Alto and tenor saxophone, clarinet and recorder, Leif Göras – Violin, Calle Jakobsson – Tuba, trombone, Leif Lindvall – Trumpet, Kalle Moraeus – Acoustic guitar, electric guitar, banjo, violin and mandolin, Olle Moraeus – Violin, Perra Moraeus – Violin and alto sax, Lars Rudolfsson – Accordion, Jörgen Stenberg – Drums and percussion. And with Helen and Tommy Körberg as chorus singers.
Because it’s as Benny has said:
– It’s no use having a good song if you don’t have a good artist to sing it.
And good musicians who can play, one might add.
– Benny Andersson Band is something very special – it’s a joy to see everyone again and to sing new songs with the band and Tommy. //Helen Sjöholm
– Organized movement (dance) is an incredibly healthy social phenomenon. //Tommy Körberg
