Kongero is a Swedish vocal group, consisting of the four female folk music singers Lotta Andersson, Emma Björling, Anna
Larsson and Anna Wikénius. Kongero was formed in 2005 when the original members all attended a Nordic folk music
conference. By chance they started singing together and found that their voices and harmonies blended perfectly. Since then
they have performed at many of the major folk music scenes and festivals and at several a cappella and chamber music
festivals aswell as doing tours in Europe, Asia and The Americas. They also do well-received church concerts, school concerts,
tours, perform at business events, and conduct workshops in traditional Swedish vocal music and vocal harmonies.
Kongero’s repertoire consists of traditional and original songs and tunes arranged by the members. Kongero tells tales of life,
with moving love songs, dramatic medieval ballads, witty ditties, and spirited dances. Their music is characterized by tight
harmonies, inciting rhythms, and the clarity of their beautiful voices. With con dence, technical skill, irresistible playfulness and
brilliant arrangements, they create a unique sound that brings the traditional music from past to present. They call the genre
Swedish Folk'apella.
