Bifrost (band)

Bifrost is a Danish rock band. The early band was considered one of the last of the Danish flower power revolution bands [1] and is best known for the songs Hej Maria (Hello, Maria) and Det er morgen (translated: "It's Morning"), both written and sung by keyboardist Tom Lundén. While leading Bifrost, Lundén also wrote the 1976 protest song I kan ikke slå os ihjel (translated: "You cannot kill us") as an anthem for the revolutionary hippie commune of Christiania.[2] Founded in 1974. The early band consisted of Tom Lundén, Ida Klemann, Finn Jensen, Torben Andersen, Asger Skjold-Rasmussen, Mogens Ficher and dancer and singer Annapurna. In 1977 Mikael Miller replaced Finn Jensen on guitar. In 1978 an additional guitarist, John Teglgaard, joined the group. [3] Between 1976 and 1996, Bifrost released nine albums on the CBS and Mercury Records labels.
