Greek or Swedish? Iranian or Swedish?

Does the name "Antique"- "Opa Opa" ring a bell? You might associate it with Greece, Mediterranean Sea, sun, warm. No way with Scandinavia, snow, cold.

But...Surprise! According to Spotify Antique is a Greek duo originating from Sweden which combines Greek popular music and lyrics with a Nordic dance/pop beat.It was the first group ever to be nominated for a Swedish Grammy in the category Modern Dance (with a Greek song).

"Arash". It sounds Arabic right? It is. Half Arabic. According to the same multitasking Spotify Arash is a popular singer, producer and dancer based in Sweden. Born Arash Labash in Iran, his family moved in Sweden when he was 10.

  4. I know that song (the Opa Opa one). It´s a little bit older, I think, but quiet good. In German "Opa" means grandpa, LOL!
