Conversation and signing with Tomas Ledin and Peter Nordahl
Talk and book signing with Tomas Ledin and Peter Nordahl
Come meet Tomas Ledin and Peter Nordahl as they present and discuss the making of their new album, *Symphonia Politropou*.
When Tomas Ledin collaborated with composer and arranger Peter Nordahl and the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra in 2022, his well-known songs were given new life in symphonic form. On the album Symphonia, Nordahl took a bold approach by removing the drums and bass, placing the singer and orchestra on uncharted territory where lyrics and music meet on new terms. The result was a powerful performance in which each song was framed by orchestral prologues and epilogues.
Don’t miss when Tomas Ledin comes to play at Uppsala Konsert och Kongress on October 24, directed by Peter Nordahl.

Concert: La Liga Habanera
With a modern and soulful interpretation of Cuban timba, La Liga Habanera has made a strong impression on stages around Sweden and Europe. Now La Liga Habanera takes over the block party at Lilla torget on June 13 for a swinging concert where no one will be able to stand still.
La Liga Habanera was formed in Havana, the capital of Cuba, and is now based in Sweden. Since its inception, the band has become known for its modern, soulful, and funky take on Cuban timba—a genre of music with roots in Afro-Cuban traditions.
The music draws inspiration from legendary Cuban bands such as Buena Vista Social Club, Los Van Van, Beny Moré, and Havana D’Primera, as well as Chicago’s Earth, Wind & Fire.
The singers of La Liga Habanera come together to create a powerful, dynamic sound, where tight harmonies contrast with charismatic lead vocals. The rhythm section brews an Afro-Cuban groove, the horns deliver energy and explosive joy, while the piano and bass weave together intense syncopations and rhythmic patterns that make it impossible to stand still.
As a wonderful bonus, dancers from Uppsala Danscenter and Carlos & Friends will offer salsa try-outs, animation, and social dancing that will get the entire audience swept up in the rhythms. DJ Luis will play before and after the concert, keeping the dance floor alive all evening.
The audience at Lilla torget can look forward to a sizzling summer evening with a lively party atmosphere when the Caribbean night comes to Sommaren på UKK.
We’re aiming for a magical evening under the open sky. If the weather doesn’t permit, the concert will be held indoors at our venue.
Organizer: Carlos & Friends
