Swedish Mounted Band of the Royal Lifeguards with Kristin Amparo

Join us for a Motown-themed concert performed by the Swedish Mounted Band of the Royal Lifeguards. The title is “Souled Out” and soul is exactly what’s on offer, with the music of Aretha Franklin, Otis Redding, Michael Jackson and Chaka Kahn!

The soloist is Kristin Amparo, who has garnered recognition for her unstoppable and seemingly unlimited artistry over the years. She has been described as a combination of Ella Fitzgerald and Amy Winehouse. She participated twice in 2014 in the Swedish show Allsång på Skansen (Sing-along at Skansen). She was also in the 2015 Melodifestivalen song competition with the song “I See You”, written by Fredrik Kempe and David Kreuger. In addition, Kristin was a driving force behind hip hop collective Femtastic.

The Swedish Mounted Band of the Royal Lifeguards is joined by a backup band consisting of a guitarist, bassist, drummer, keyboard player and two backup singers.

This annual concert is arranged in partnership between the Föreningen för den Beridna Högvakten (Association of the Mounted High Guard) and the Swedish Mounted Band of the Royal Lifeguards, which is one of the Swedish Armed Forces’ three professional orchestras and consists of 27 brass players and three percussionists.
