Jättarna

Jättarna is a Swedish term that translates to "The Giants" in English. It can refer to several things, most notably a fictional race of giants in Norse mythology and a popular Swedish rock band.

In Norse mythology, jättarna are a race of beings who often represent chaotic forces and are frequently in conflict with the gods, particularly the Aesir. They are typically depicted as large, powerful, and primal creatures, often associated with nature, elemental forces, and the early days of creation. Their origins are often linked to the primordial being Ymir. While sometimes antagonists, they can also be figures of wisdom and power, and relationships between gods and jättar, including marriages and offspring, are also part of the mythology.

As a musical group, Jättarna is a Swedish rock band formed in 1995. They are known for their energetic live performances and a sound that blends elements of rock, punk, and pop. The band gained popularity in Sweden during the late 1990s and early 2000s with hits like "En kram till" and "Du är alltid en del av mig." Their music often features relatable lyrics dealing with themes of love, life, and everyday experiences. Jättarna has released several albums and continues to perform, maintaining a dedicated fanbase.
