Archimedes Badkar

Band, *1972 SE, Stockholm
Folk and World

Swedish experimental fusion band that released four albums during the 1970s. They were based in Vaxholm and featured rock, jazz and folk musicians from the cream of Swedish underground. Their music incorporated elements of ethnic music (Swedish folk, Balkan, Turkish, Indian, Tibetan and African, etc.), jazz, rock, and folk, bridging many styles and genres from jazz-rock through to pure avant-garde. Well-known world music maverick Bengt Berger joined during the recording of their first LP and later took a few of the musicians to form his Bitter Funeral Beer Band. Their fourth album was out of character with the earlier ones being a direct collaboration with members of the band Afro 70.
