Linda Faltskog Joins Her Mother in Lighting a Thousand Candles

Back in 1980, Swedish songstress and ABBA member Agnetha Faltskog had gotten into the Christmas spirit, and she brought her seven-year-old daughter Linda along.  Linda’s debut was an album of Christmas standards, entitled “Nu tanda tusen Juleljus”, which is translated as “A Thousand Candles are Being Lit.”  Listeners will be familiar with the classic strains of “Jingle Bells”, but the vividly-orchestrated songs are sung in the Faltskogs’ native Swedish.  Several of Agnetha’s former bandmates were on hand for the recording, as well as ABBA engineer Michael Tretow.  In addition to singing backup for her mother, Linda Faltskog takes a few numbers by herself.
