Svenska Akademien (band)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Svenska Akademien is a Swedish reggae band formed in 1999 by Carl-Martin Vikingsson, Simon Vikokel and Kristoffer Hellman. The band has released five albums and two singles. Carl-Martin Vikingsson has also released a solo album as "Sture Alléns Dansorkester". Svenska Akademien vocalist Ivan Olausson-Klatil aka "General Knas" released a solo album in June 2006 called "Äntligen har rika människor fått det bättre" ("Finally rich peoples conditions have improved").

Although some people consider their music to be politically green and leftish, they have stated on their website that "Svenska Akademien doesen't have its own ideology, or some kind of manifest approved by its members."
