What began as a tribute among friends is now growing into a full-scale evening at Fasching, as Svenska Akademien invites you to a heartfelt musical celebration of Peps Persson, the man who not only helped shape Swedish roots and reggae, but gave voice to resistance, joy, and an unshakable love of life.
Peps’ music has always been the backbone of Svenska Akademien’s world. His sound, his language, his soul. This night features reinterpretations of his timeless songs, alongside the band’s own material, with Peps’ spirit pulsing through every beat.
And the guest artists? We’re keeping that under wraps for now. But expect familiar faces and musical heavyweights.
Reggae, blues, storytelling and groove. A night where the backbeat carries the memories forward, and Peps’ musical life force is reborn.
