Info for 40th ANNIVERSARY (Live)

The miraculous a cappella group The Real Group is releasing its grand 40th‑anniversary album!

The album features an extensive set list of 21 tracks, recorded during their major anniversary tour. As a taster, the lead single “Words – Live” is already available in the tracklist preview. The recordings were made during the celebrations, at which the ensemble shared the stage with original members Margareta Bengtson, Katarina Henryson, Anders Edenroth and Peder Karlsson.

They met while studying at Stockholm’s Royal College of Music in 1984 and formed The Real Group. Since then, they have captivated fans on a variety of stages, from collaborations with famous artists and orchestras to choirs. In 2000, their album ‘Commonly Unique’ won the Swedish Grammy Award. At the 2002 FIFA World Cup, co-hosted by Japan and Korea, they delivered that miraculous harmony to the world at the opening ceremony in Seoul. The album ‘Live in Japan,’ released to commemorate their autumn 2013 visit to Japan, was issued worldwide as a recording made at Billboard Live Tokyo.

The Real Group

The Real Group
is a Swedish vocal group with five dedicated singers and musicians. The group has been touring for 40+ years and continues to excite a broad audience all over the world. With a unique musical expression in a field between jazz, pop and Northern European choral music, The Real Group is considered one of the leading forces in the world of vocal music.

The Real Group was formed in 1984 by five students at the Royal Academy of Music in Stockholm. The original members were eager to explore the artistic world of vocal music with an emphasis on jazz, pop and folk music. The group quickly gained an international audience and has grown to become one of the cornerstones of modern a cappella. Today the legacy of The Real Group is maintained and further developed by worldwide concert tours, recordings, educational mentoring and published scores. The mentorship has evolved over the years and continuously seeks to integrate artistic aspirations with human rights, ecological awareness, global concern and a feministic mindset.

The organization is today owned and managed by Margareta Bengtson, Anders Edenroth, Katarina Henryson and Peder Karlsson. Anders Jalkeus is no longer a part of the organization and has had no connection with the artistic or educational work of The Real Group since 2015.

This album contains no booklet.
