This old Swedish traditional folk song tells the story of a little goat who wants to go up on the big mountain, despite all warnings of the wolf. He is convinced that his horns will save him, so off he goes. Unfortunately, the wolf ends up eating all of him. Next thing you hear is the ancient sound of a herd calling, kulning, from a single voice. It is soon joined by more voices, all asking if anyone has seen the little goat and then the song smoothly transitions into a rhythmic polska. The song Blågeta is sung powerful, groovy, ethereal and with a sense of humor, in close and precise harmonies by the voices of the four women in Åkervinda. The arrangement of Blågeta is completely á cappella and made by Åkervinda.

In July 2019 Åkervinda made their TV debut in the famous Swedish TV show Allsång på Skansen in SVT. The spring prior Åkervinda released their second album 'Förgänglighet’, which later received a nomination for a Swedish Grammis in the category “Folk music of the year”. Förgänglighet - the passing of life - is a tribute to all the things that withers away and a celebration of life in summer as well as autumn. Like so many storytellers and artists before them, Åkervinda carries tales of women throughout the ages, embodied in a visual musical live performance.
Åkervinda share a deep love of folk music, and give new life to the Scandinavian folk tunes in their original and modern interpretations. The group’s name is inspired by a Swedish wildflower whose roots spread far and wide like rivers under the ground. Like the flower, gracefully entwining melodies, rock solid groove, and ever intriguing harmonies will take root in your mind. Like the flower, they will be impossible to remove.
