Radio de Peps Persson

Peps Persson (born December 20, 1946) is a Swedish blues and reggae musician from Tjörnarp, Scania. Throughout his career he has mostly made music in Swedish and is well known for his Scanian dialect. At an earlier stage he made a few albums English. Persson helped introducing blues and reggae (+ the Scanian dialect) to the Swedish people. His career up to 1975 was mostly inspired by the blues, and Peps is known for having reworked many famous blues tunes into Swedish, by such artists as Muddy Waters and Elmore James.[1] Among the most famous are "Himlen gråter" ("The Sky is Crying" by Elmore James) from Blodsband, and the album Rotblos consisted only of translated blues classics.
