Oh Laleh, Laleh!

During this autumn TV4 has sent the second round of their successful program Så Mycket Bättre (So Much Better) and it’s the same every time: ”Oh Laleh, Laleh…” Everyone that has seen the program loves it! The idea is to gather a group of artists in different ages and different song styles and then each of them is given a day. On that day they decide the activities and all the other artists performs this artist’s songs. There is so much love and respect in the air. We also get to know the artists in a new way and there is a lot of talk about the programs. And then everyone says: ”Oh Laleh, Laleh!”

When Laleh performs her personal interpretations of the other artist’s songs I feel happy shivers in my legs. This Saturday it was time for the other artists to perform Laleh’s songs and I think they did it with a special sense of solemnity, respect and joy.

I don’t know what it is that she does this fantastic girl, but she enchants them all. Now we also learned more about her background, how they escaped from Iran and that her father was a hero that was the publisher of a forbidden, political newspaper.

In addition to all this Gotland and Grå Gåsen gets a lot of PR! Living on Gotland I’m very grateful for that!
