Svensk visa

Über Svensk visa

The Swedish visa is a long tradition of literary song, where poetry and melody carry equal weight. In the twentieth century it was reshaped by troubadours like Evert Taube, who drew on the sea and the Swedish countryside, and Cornelis Vreeswijk, who turned it toward social satire. Sung at midsummer, in schools, and around kitchen tables, the visa remains one of the most deeply rooted forms in Swedish culture.
