This song has a special story. "Going Down to the River" is a song written, composed and performed by American, Doug Seegers. Seegers was a struggling street artist in Nashville, lived as a homeless musician. Doug Seegers became known to the Swedish public when he appeared on a Swedish TV show.
Yes, you must check them out, they are fantastic. Two of their most famous song are Fireworks and Emmylou th-cam.com/video/wp3op-DYFG4/w-d-xo.html th-cam.com/video/PC57z-oDPLs/w-d-xo.html
They are singing at ”Liseberg” in Gothenburg. Liseberg is an amusement park, the parks mascot is a giant bunny, thats why they have bunny ears on 😊 // Swedish TH-camr
Regarding Swedish folk duets, you should check out First Aid Kit. They're a couple of Swedish sisters with amazing harmony. Check out when they perform 'America' live in front of Paul Simon himself at the Polar Music Prize in Stockholm, Sweden. Few, if any, can replicate the magic harmonies of Simon & Garfunkel, but these sisters can actually do it and are so good that they get a standing ovation from Paul Simon himself: th-cam.com/video/pa3xOakbGTo/w-d-xo.html
Mortac Yes! They where actually my neighbors, and I played with their little brother when I was a little kid. I got to experience their talent from the beginning when they sang in the backyard.
The amusement park that they are performing at (Liseberg- the largest amusementpark in the Nordic counties) has a green bunny for a mascot, hence the bunny ears in the audience. And the event seems to be a performance on a sing-a-long show recorded at Liseberg called "Lotta på Liseberg" (Lotta is a swedish name, and the name of the show hostess)
and btw, yes this is a family event, broadcasted live on Swedish TV4, every monday evening in the summer. The show was actually started as a competitor to Allsång på Skansen, meaning sing-along at the Skansen park (another big, old, childrens/cultural museum/zoo style park in Stockholm), which has been running on Swedish public service TV, channel 1, since the late 70´s, every Tuesday, again only in the Summer. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alls%C3%A5ng_p%C3%A5_Skansen Here's a typical show, and this is the finale show of the summer 2015: th-cam.com/video/1Jl6Loc8ybw/w-d-xo.html
Fun fact! The small village, Lindesberg that Chris told about in Americans got talent is actually BOTH Martins and Chris hometown. Haha and yes, I’m from Lindesberg myself ✌🏼🇸🇪
I was there and it was a hot summer night 2018 and it was Amazing. The two of them together wow. My sister and I run in to them in the hotell later that night. They was so humble and nice. We had a nice talk.
Its in an amusment park in Göteborg. It is a sing a long show. Great that they turned of the rolercoster. When Smashing pumpking preformed at the amusementpark in Stockolm they tought it was a bit strang to having the rolercoster go full trottle.
Swedish people are really good listeners and makes the sound space for the artists to play in and don't want to be in their spotlight. It has to do with a type of respect for the artist, but also with social shyness of the swedish people (in general - a lot of exceptions though). Here's a link to pictures of the Liseberg bunnies (you can compare it with a type of Disneyland): www.google.com/search?q=lisebergskanin&sxsrf=ACYBGNQoO_p_SLx_dUfuad858zDrj9MT9g:1569167053314&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwj4jLnm4uTkAhVNGpoKHcsIAqMQ_AUIEigB&biw=1920&bih=969
It's once a week in the summer time (live) and it's TV sent. It's called Lotta on Liseberg, Liseberg is a big amusement park with rollercoasters and so on. And they has the bunny as its mascot.
Its in Gothenburg on the amusent park Liseberg. Both Martin and Chris is from the same small town of Lindesberg. Two winners of swedish Idol from a town of 7000 inhabitants :)
If you like Swedish musik, and want Power and diversity. then i highly recomend a show in sweden called "så mycket bättre /so much better". the concept of the show is that artists, old and new and in different genres meets up, talks, eat dinners, and then focus on one artist /episode, and then the individual artists does their interpretations of songs they chose from that artists works. th-cam.com/video/fRY6jg2ESbI/w-d-xo.html and the artist that sings name is Magnus Uggla, he is a real Swedish treat. has done so much cool and different Music. and this interpretation he did just hit them all, people was Crying, could not contain themselves, had to go out and such. but the cool thing is that rappers does their versions, opera singers, rnb, Classic, Everything, and they do it in their style, its so damn cool and some songs just gets "so much better" not everytime ofcourse, but holy crap some of them just goes so much further up. highly recomend to search google for "så mycket bättre" if you do not have the keys of åäö, just copy that sentance and paste it to find some Swedish treats :)
This clip is from a show called Lotta på Liseberg, Liseberg is an amusementpark in gothenburg, its a live show where they invite artist, solve pussles together and you can call in to win money :) Its a really fun show, if you can handle Lotta whos leading the show, (I for one cant deal with her)
The place the two friends are playing in is an amusementpark in Gothenburg in Sweden, Liseberg, at a show called Lotta (a girlsingers name) på (at) Liseberg. The bunnys, bunnyears is from the parks pet the Lisebergbunny. Is in classic green and white.
Every summer the swedes go together on different pleases one time a week to sing togheter we'll known songs.. Ist called "allsång".. we sing all together and invite our Swedish singers but also from other countries to sing for us but they also chose an song to si g together with the people... This is from Liseberg, Gothenburg and from there TV sending live every monday ins summer.. We also have a big "allsång" show from Skansen, Stockholm sending live every Tuesday!.... It's Swedish kulturen to come together and sing well known songs... You can Google about rhst
@@ReactToTheWorld yes that is an experience an unic so many people meeting every week to sing together an that most of tourist who comes to Sweden has as a good memory...
Plzz do that,he is amazing with the joik : Daniels Joik ... He sing with his soul and not word..amazing,so React 😉 = Jon Henrik - Daniels Joik | Talang Sverige 2014 // 😍
two absolutely wonderful guys who come from the same city, best city if I may say so myself!! react to Chris music video on his own youtube channel IF not with you, for you I promise that one or two tears will come
Check out First Aid kit. They have are a pair of twin sisters that sing duettes in pretty much all of their songs. Their style of music is... unique to say the least. An example to check out would be "Silver Lining", by First Aid Kit. They are amazing. "Emmylou" is also another amazing song by them.
"Allsång på Skansen" it's not a concert or a festival. Its a TV show that airs in the summertime. with different artists visiting doing one or two songs .Inbetween there is "allsång" litterally means "everyone sings" so they do famous swedish folk songs that basically everyone knows and the whole audience sings.
Doug Seegers has written the song. Jill Johnsson found him in Nashville when she did a Swedish TV program for almost ten years ago. And then she went to Sweden with him, and he became a great artist. He has sold a lot of records and been performing all over the nation, and being in great TV shows. th-cam.com/video/QrD3Qz7u-DI/w-d-xo.html
Fun fact; Both of these singers lives (and come from, at least the county) same 12000 ppl town. The calmness in the audience is calmer then usual tho, its from the summer 2018, the hottest summer in centuries, about 35 degrees and we are not used to that, this summer we had 20-25 wich is far more normal. And the show is not a festival, is a tv show swedish television make every summer, once a week think thats it of fun facts for now... nooo Wait! Martin! He is playing brother Tuck in a Robin Hood musical in sweden at the moment and he is more "country" then Chris
It’s an amusement park, their mascots are bunnies. This park is rated the 6th best park in Europe. This event is more of a sing-along-hour, this free-event audience there are not nessecarily there to view guests who sing a song or two.☺️
I used to play with Martin, before he got into Swedish Idol (and no, this is not to promote myself in any way...). I'm just happy for him, that he finally got the recognition he so well deserves, and that he gets to live the life he has dreamed of. :) He is a great, warm-hearted, humble, and funny guy! :) As you say - he was born to sing and play this type of music! His main influences are among others, the Band, the Beatles (of course), and CCR. This song, the Weight by the band, is also the one he performed in his first audition on Swedish Idol: th-cam.com/video/hKwOeMzxubQ/w-d-xo.html
I love your reaction video 😍 for next can you react to the latest Z-Girl "Street of Gold" MV and Z-Boys "Holla-holla" please 🙏 Their Vocal and choreographies are amazing ❤ and they are a girl and boy group from seven different countries in Asia 🙂
@@ReactToTheWorld no they are not related.. Chis come from a little what we om swwdwn call "by" is an very small village with mostly only 10,- 50 peoples mostly farmers, offen 5-10 km outside the "main" Village.. Lindesberg has ca 9000 people and Martin comes from there and Chris comes from the " By a few km from Lindesberg
You only just discovered us? We're the best thing since sliced bread with lingonberries jam! Make sure you check out our Chris Kläfford playlist! th-cam.com/video/9gyIPJ1l4Po/w-d-xo.html
I understand why Chris went overseas, because the Swedish audience don't appreciate him enough. I'm Swedish, so I'm not talking rubbish, lol. But yes, this is a stiff tv-show, I never even seen it. Hugs to you two. Love ya
The song they are singing also has an interesting story connected to Sweden and a swedish TV show. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Going_Down_to_the_River_(album)
We have enough Swedish artists for you to react to for the rest of your TH-cam program series that are more American than Americans as som wrote in a comment before.
Chris is also kind of an underdog, who auditioned for many, many times, before he finally made it to the Swedish Idol top 12: th-cam.com/video/FjhArWlYyiw/w-d-xo.html
About the quality of Chris' recording. You have to understand that he lived in a village with 15 people. That is not going to produce that much noise. Maybe some birds... that's it.
Sweden is the third biggest nation to export music in the world. So maybe they allready stole your idea lol. Only US and Germany (I think) is bigger than Sweden i the musical arena. the thing is, There is swedish producers that made many of those biggest artist over in US and England.

These two are actually friends from before idol, from the same town and have both won idol separate years, pretty cool!
It's not a festival though. It's TV-show that airs once a week in the summertime. And it's recorded at the amusement park Liseberg.
Liseberg have a green Bunny as a theme animal. That’s why the bunny ears. Like Disney land/world have the mous ears.
About american folk music. Check out the swedish duo First Aid Kit. They are more american than americans.
Excellent choice! I was about to suggest them! They are one of my favourite duos! 😊👍
