Om du vill ha sällskap/If You Want Company

Viba Femba

Unpredictable, breathtakingly beautiful, memorable, melancholic, aggressive, humorous and abounding in words. A lot can be said about Viba Femba, but of one thing you can stay assured; that  you can’t be sure of anything at all, apart from fantastic singing and musicianship.

This is the 6th CD since the start in 1984, entitled Om du vill ha sällskap (If you want company). The three earier releases on the Caprice label are: Alla talar svenska (Everyone speaks Swedish), Äventyr (Adventures) and Samla alla fem (Gather all five).

Om du vill ha sällskap is a mixture of borrowed melodies and own material, all of it served with remarkable humor. Characteristic for the group is its unique contact with the audience whose enchantment with Viba Femba’s stylistic somersaults and abrupt emotional changes is boundless.

1999 the group was awarded the Povel Ramel Karamelodiktprize, with the justification for these “quintetter’s” amazing path-finding in singing with a seducing mixture of precision in music, shrewd provoking texts and happy modesty while delivering”.
