Stig-Helmers Experience at Sudersands Badrestaurang, Fårö island, Gotland, Sweden, Copyright Lifecruiser.com

Last Saturday we went to Sudersands Badrestaurang to listen to the band Jösses Pojkar who sometimes perform together with Lasse Åberg in a trio called Stig-Helmers Experience.

Stig-Helmer is that wonderful nerdy character in the famous Swedish comedy movie series Lasse Åberg has done, which has become a cult classic. No Swede can see him without instantly think of Stig-Helmer and put on a big smile.

We met Claes-Göran, Bengt and Hasse in Jösses Pojkar last year at the annual farm BBQ at the fishing cottage – some of you might remember that I wrote about it.

Our farmer have known them for ages and this year Claes-Göran with wife and Bengt stayed up here at the farm for a couple of nights, but we didn’t have any big BBQ this time.

They’re such nice guys with so much humor in their songs. If you’re in Gotland (Sweden) you can catch up with them at other performances, they’re on a tour right now.

Another important thing to mention is that Lasse Åberg also is a chairman in the Chiparamba Foundation, which arranged this event. Chiparamba Foundation’s goal is to help children in South Africa which lives in the streets or who’s parents has died in HIV/AIDS.

It was such a wonderful experience to see the Soccer team Chiparamba Great Eagles from Lusaka, Zambia at the restaurant filled with joy, shaking their bodies to the music!

What a rhythm they have in them. They even danced to a very Swedish, folk music song.

I thought it were a pity that they should be up there dancing alone – so I joined them! I remember that they looked really interested on my foot work…. Like: “What on earth are she doing…?” *giggles*

After that the dance seriously got going!
