Frida Hyvönen And The Pear - LFSM, Part 1

A glass of water, a pear, a lemon, a digital camera and a red dress, Frida Hyvönen (Sweden) reached the grand piano and offered twelve songs from her soon to be bigger repertoire including the beautiful N.Y., as an encore. The small audience from the Swedish Cultural Centre of Paris (100 seats) was very quiet and concentrate ready to listen to the bitter-sweet tales of Frida about cities, longing and sad love.
Frida Hyvönen was invited this week to play two sold-out evenings for the Les Femmes s'en mêlent Festival. She showcased songs of her debut album Until Death Comes and her recently finished soundtrack to Pudel (translation: Poodle); a 70 minute choreographed performance with 6 humans and 5 poodles.
By the way, the pear almost disappeared before the end of the show – I guess it’s the first time that I see an artist eating during a set – the lemon was there as an aromatherapy use and the camera, of course, was there for her to shoot the audience. Smile!
