Röda bönor

Röda bönor (A Swedish pun meaning both "red beans" and "red chicks") was a feminist progg band formed in Lund in the mid 1970s. Röda bönor was one of the progg movement's first real girl bands. The lyrics and music were written mainly by the band members. Their most famous song is Oh, Carol. Others include Diskoteksjakt ("Disco-hunt"), Sången om sexualmyterna ("The song of the sexual myths"), Det ska bli slut på rumban ("It's the end of the rumba") and Nu har vi tröttnat ("We have now become tired"). They are also known for their interpretation of the Italian work song La lega.

Members of the band included Charlotte Adlercreutz-Carlsson, Mona Eklund, Marianne Giselsson, Annbritt Kronlund, Kjerstin Norén, Gunilla Szemenkár, Eva Vahlne, Eva Westerberg and Kaya Ålander. Norén and Vahlne left the group after their first album. Norén and Ålander have also released solo albums. Röda bönor have recently reunited for occasional performances.
