Fred Bo Gunnar Åkerström was a Swedish singer, activist, and theatre actor. Regarded as one of the greatest interpreters of Carl Michael Bellman, he is noted for his resonant bass-baritone voice and emotional performances. Debuting during the folk music revival in the early 1960s, he covered several socially conscious and sentimental ballads by both notable and obscure Swedish poets.
