OHlinjer

OHlinjer, also known as OH-linjer, are a type of Swedish folk music that originated in the 19th century. The term "OH" is an abbreviation for "Olle Hjortzberg," a Swedish folk musician who popularized the style. OHlinjer are characterized by their simple, repetitive melodies and lyrics that often tell stories or describe everyday life in rural Sweden. The music is typically played on traditional Swedish instruments such as the nyckelharpa, fiol, and dragspel.

The lyrics of OHlinjer often focus on themes such as love, nature, and the hardships of rural life. The melodies are usually in a minor key and have a slow, steady rhythm. The music is often accompanied by dance, with the most famous OHlinjer dance being the "Polska," which is a type of square dance.

OHlinjer have been influential in the development of Swedish folk music and have inspired many modern Swedish musicians. The music is still popular today and is often performed at folk festivals and other cultural events. The OHlinjer style has also been adopted by other countries, particularly in Scandinavia, where it is known as "OH-linjer" or "OH-låtar."
