The UBass Quartet plays Längtan till landet (Vintern Rasat)

#ubass #ukulelebass #valborg
Spring is here in Sweden and Summer is on its way!
The song I’m playing is a staple at every “Valborgsmässofirande”.
Often sung by choirs by the bonfires!
I decided to adopt this classic arrangement and let four different UBasses take each vocal part!

Valborgsmässoafton
(Walpurgis Evening)
Every year on April 30th Swedes celebrate the fact that summer is just around the corner by lighting massive bonfires in the name of an 8th-century German abbess, St. Walpurga, or Valborg in Swedish. Valborg is actually on May 1st, a röddag (a red day/bank holiday), but the bonfires are lit on Valborgsmässoafton (Walpurgis Evening, afton means evening)
