Fred Åkerström

Swedish musician and singer

Fred Åkerström
Fred Bo Gunnar Åkerström (27 January 1937 – 9 August 1985) was a Swedish folk guitarist and singer particularly noted for his interpretations of Carl Michael Bellman's music, and his own work of the typically Swedish song segment named visa. These songs, visor, are traditionally very narrative and the performance is "acted" to some degree. The singer is in context a vissångare, a troubadour character. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fred_%C3%85kerstr%C3%B6m
