Psalms while the musicians jammed along!"
This modern-day Poetry Band has recently recorded two live,
improvisational music poetry CDs, which feature spoken word, songs and long
jams combined and woven into a kind of modern psychedelic theatre. "Each spring, the
Consulate General of Sweden organizes a month-long series of events,
exhibits, seminars and celebrations that demonstrate Sweden 's
entrepreneurial spirit and well-recognized leadership in lifestyle elements
like music and design . The program is complementary to Volvo's mission to
expand our U."

aims to highlight the latest trends in a country with a global reputation
as a trend-setter while at the same time demonstrating the synergy that
exists between Sweden and California in lifestyle, design, music, film,
fitness, IT, life sciences and biotechnology. Its learning businesses and brands serve the needs of individuals,
learning institutions , corporations and government agencies with products and
services for both traditional and distributed learning.
