Kolonien | A Documentary Series from Campfire Stories | Episode 1 of 5

Kolonien is a Swedish folk music band consisting of Anna Möller (Violin/Vocals), Arvid Rask (Guitar/Vocals), Erik Rask (Bass/Guitar/Vocals) and Mischa Grind (Percussion/Vocals).

The word Kolonien derives from the Latin’s “Colonia”, meaning the cultivator and breaker of new ground. But in Sweden it’s also a term for community gardening, often just outside the cities. A ”koloni” is a few square meters of land where urban people can grow some vegetables or flowers and create a sanctuary from the city life.

Kolonien started out as a protest band for the green movement. As the converging crises of the world has intensified, the band is maturing into a potent voice for a more beautiful world.
