Timeline
His father Svante Arnold Afzelius (1923–1976) was an engineer and his mother Ulla Afzelius (1926–1971) was a housewife.
Björn Svante Afzelius (27 January 1947 – 16 February 1999) was a Swedish singer-songwriter and guitar player.
He was an outspoken socialist, known for his support for Olof Palme.
His songs are about love, politics and joys and sadness in life.
Björn Svante Afzelius was born on 27 January 1947 in Huskvarna, Jönköping County.
His only sibling is his brother Bengt (b. 1952) who is a music teacher.
He came into contact with music from a very young age, because his mother and her side of the family were largely into music.
In 1970, Afzelius formed the progg group Hoola Bandoola Band together with Mikael Wiehe.
Afzelius released his first solo album in 1974, his last one in 1999.
Some of his most popular songs are "Ikaros", "Tusen bitar" (Thousand pieces – which was originally recorded by Danish Anne Linnet as "Tusind Stykker"), "Sång till friheten" (Song for Freedom – which was originally recorded by Cuban Silvio Rodríguez as "El Día Feliz Que Está Llegando"), "Kungens man" (The king's man), "Tankar i Havanna" (Thoughts in Havanna) and "Till min kära" (For my dear).
Wiehe and Afzelius became very close friends and worked together long after Hoola Bandoola had dissolved in 1975.
He died from lung cancer in 1999, 52 years old, but he remains one of the most beloved artists in Scandinavia.
He wrote about 150 songs and sold over two-and-a-half million albums.
Afzelius died on 16 February 1999 in Gothenburg.
The Björn Afzelius International Culture Foundation (BAIK) was set up in his honour.
The foundation has in the past sponsored a prize known as the Freemuse Award, which recognises an individual or organisation that "has worked for freedom of musical expression in a remarkable way".
The award is given by Freemuse.
Winners of the Freemuse Award include:
In 2021, the Freemuse Freedom of Artistic Expression Award was opened for nominations.
