Benny Andersson with Eric Ericson's Chamber Choir "Ode to freedom"

[@markdudley5656]

I can't believe they didn't get a U.S. Grammy Award. It just shows you how disconnected the voting members are from the world and what's going on. God bless ABBA.

[@shadow-js2hn]

Its Grammys problem- not ABBA.

[@onlyforbrian2]

ABBA Voyage will stand as one of their best albums

[@carl_anderson9315]

Well, Bad Bunny has 2 Grammys, so we can clearly see what are their standards today. I’m almost glad ABBA never received a single Grammy award.

[@MM-oq1lb]

Who cares?!

[@christianoazzuro6711]

Or i can put it another way....The Grammies propably needed some Abba to regain some of their diminished credibility.

[@williamschuyler5598]

Simply a masterpiece.

What a gorgeous day, hearing Ode to freedom. Big hug from Granada, Andalucia❤😊

[@sifridbassoon]

Beautiful performance. Beautiful words. Beautiful music. And beautiful acoustics in that hall.

[@hermanschroder3822]

Simply brilliant. I cannot believe that B&B have anyone on this planet that can outshine their creativity and mastery in so many musical genres. From ABBA to the musicals Chess and Kristina, BAO etc. Yet they remain absolutely humble and down to earth. Truly remarkable in this day and age. Let this be Ukraine's Ode to Freedom.

[@drsnypejsek]

Ukraine from 2014 violent coup lost its freedom, the US and GB are ruling and grabbing this territory and sacrificed the people to their war against Russia.

WOW so beautiful

[@samcoleman605]

I've always loved ABBA for constantly giving a feel-good vibe in the classics we all know and love. But songs like Ode to Freedom (favourite track from Voyage) and The Winner Takes It All really allow me to appreciate that for every dance and catchy moment, there is real craft, heart and emotion that Bjorn and Benny are able to put into their writing, particularly for an occasion like Ukraine. And to be able to write something like this after 40 years away from ABBA is just extraordinary. Even if you don't like (or even hate) ABBA, just remember that there is something to appreciate with Bjorn and Benny's music and lyrics, they really are amongst the masters of songwriting. ABBA may now be old as people, but their music never will be.
