Lagreglerna

Lagreglerna is a Swedish folk music group that gained significant popularity in the late 1960s and early 1970s. The group was formed in 1967 in Stockholm and consisted of four members: Lasse Berghagen, Anders Berglund, Lars "Laban" Dahlqvist, and Anders "Ankan" Dahlqvist. They were known for their unique blend of folk music, pop, and rock, which often featured traditional Swedish instruments such as the nyckelharpa and the dragspel.

The group's music was characterized by its lively rhythms, catchy melodies, and humorous lyrics, which often dealt with everyday life and social issues in a lighthearted manner. Their most famous song, "Vi har alla en vän som bor i en guldfisk" (We All Have a Friend Who Lives in a Goldfish), was released in 1968 and became an instant hit, reaching number one on the Swedish charts. The song's playful lyrics and upbeat tune have made it a classic of Swedish folk music.

Lagreglerna's popularity peaked in the early 1970s, but the group continued to perform and record music throughout the decade. They released several albums, including "Lagreglerna" (1968) and "Lagreglerna 2" (1969), which featured a mix of their signature folk-pop sound and more experimental tracks. Despite their success, the group disbanded in 1973, with the members going on to pursue other musical projects.

Today, Lagreglerna is remembered as one of the most influential and beloved folk music groups in Swedish history. Their music continues to be enjoyed by fans of all ages, and their legacy as pioneers of Swedish folk-pop remains intact.
