Helene Bohman

Swedish singer, songwriter and guitar palyer, born January 15, 1949. She is the granddaughter of the lute singer Gunnar Bohman. She collaborated in 1966 as a 17-year-old with Roland Von Malmborg in the song "Tumbalalaika", which resulted in a week's placement on Svensktoppen. In the early 1970s, she moved to Lund to study at the University of Social Sciences there. In addition to the recording with Stenblomma, she appeared on the music album Tjejclown (1974). In 1975, she applied to Järna, where there was biodynamic cultivation, Waldorf education and an artistic culture, and until 1994 combined nursing work and playing music. She then became a speech artist (speaking art, poetry, storytelling, drama) and was thereby inspired to start writing poems and making songs again. She still performs in the name Hélène Bohman-Blomqvist.
