Peps Persson

Peps Persson (born 20 December 1946) is a Swedish blues and reggae musician from Tjörnarp, Scania. Throughout his career he has mostly made music in Swedish and is well known for his Scanian dialect. At an earlier stage he made a few albums in English.

Career

Persson is a Swedish blues and reggae musician. He sings in the Scanian dialect. His career up to 1975 was mostly inspired by the blues, and Peps is known for having reworked many famous blues tunes into Swedish, by such artists as Muddy Waters and Elmore James.

After 1975, his career turned away from the blues and focused mostly on reggae. Some of his songs, like "Falsk matematik" and "Hög standard", made a political statement, and were considered part of the progg movement.
