about
Ainbusk was a Swedish pop-folk vocal group formed in 1983 on the island of Gotland, Sweden, by Josefin Nilsson (died 2016) and her sister Marie Nilsson Lind (died 2024) with Annelie Roswall and Birgitta Jakobsson. Initially known as the Ainbusk Singers, and changed to Ainbusk in 1998, the quartet is remembered for their single "Jag mötte Lassie" ("I Met Lassie") – frequently referred to simply as "Lassie" – which was the Christmas chart-topper in Sweden in 1990. They released four studio albums, one live album and one compilation. Their music mixed pop with traditional Swedish influences, plus they recorded Swedish versions of English-language songs. In 2008, they participated unsuccessfully in the Swedish Eurovision Song Contest selection, Melodifestivalen. The group's first studio album, the self-titled Ainbusk, was released in 1998, followed by Stolt (Proud) in 2000. A Christmas album, I midvintertid: En jul på Gotland came out in 2001 and included versions of "Fairytale of New York", "Fields of Gold" and "Forever Young". The group's fourth album, Skynda att älska (Rush to Love) appeared in 2002 and Ainbusk celebrated their 20th anniversary in 2003 with the release of En samling, a career retrospective also featuring three new tracks.
