23 years old Lennart Johansson from Fellingsbro has dark skin, and wants to become a dansband star. His favourite singer is Christer Sjögren. He wants to sing with dansband Sven Bodins, but is rejected because of his colour of skin. Sven Bodins state there is too much racial prejudice within the dansband genre, even if they declare themselves not having anything against people with dark skin. This leads to Lennart Johansson deciding to start an own band.
