Amerikanen Reacts To Svenska Klassiker: Neneh Cherry - Buffalo Stance

Hi Jonathan :) I strongly recommend ‘7 seconds’ with Neneh and Senegal singer (and politican no less!) Youssu N’dour. 👌😊

[@ansoka3]

Great song! You also HAVE to listen to her sister Titiyo who is probably even more popular, her song "Come Along" is a true classic!! Also looking forward to Banankontakt - epic :D

[@nilnaelil]

I'll second Titiyo, I didn't actually know that they where related. That's a very musically gifted family.

[@mattiazinfo]

It is!

This is a classic! I remeber it from the late 80. As for shoutouts. I know that the swedesh singer Leila K has inspired artists like Lady gaga? Got the get with Leila K is def a banger!

[@joniskahavet]

Neneh hade redan levt i ganska många år i först New York och sedan London när hon slog igenom, det är därför hon låter som hon gör. En låt som den här hade knappast blivit gjord i Sverige 1988, hiphop var en nästan okänd företeelse för den stora allmänheten, man kände kanske till att det fanns amerikanska artister som "pratsjöng" och tyckte att det var en lite konstig grej. Visst fanns det svenska rappare i "orten" men de var väldigt underground och lokala. Neneh öppnade nog ögonen och öronen för hiphop för ganska många svenska ungdomar.

[@stefanhakola8980]

Precis så var det ! Jag var 18 år då och det här var absolut en av mina första upplevelser av hip-hop, i varje fall utanför filmens värld. När jag förstod att hon var halvsvensk så blev jag "stolt", eller nåt sånt. Tidigare så hade man bara sett amerikansk ungdomskultur på film och tv. Helt plötsligt så hade vi vår egen "amerikanska" stjärna. Jag tyckte att hon var den sexigaste tjej jag nånsin sett.

[@semipalatinsk1]

Neneh (whose father is American) did move to the U.S. (New York I think) when she was about 4 years old, and hasn't really been living in Sweden. She still speaks excellent Swedish though (with a slight U.S accent), and her daughter, singer Mabel was partly raised in Sweden and speaks both fluent English (British) and Swedish like a native Swedish girl.

[@lindalaing.4289]

Nenehs father is Sierra Leonean. Her stepdad is American.

[@stefanandersson2402]

Her father was jazz-trumpeter Don Cherry who played with several of the big names in jazz. Among them was, John Coltrane and Charlie Haden.

[@annelhvass]

Jonathan du gör mig stolt över vår svenska musik och i listan hittas skatter som man glömt av, underbart att lyssna och höra på dina recensioner ❤ Det finns sååå mycket bra svensk musik och så mycket som spelats genom åren i så många olika genrer så jag tror du får fortsätta din kanal i många år framöver 😉😁 Det saknas lite blues, vi har två kvinnliga giganter som skapat fantastisk musik genom åren, helt olika men båda helt fantastiska. Du får inte missa dessa två. Caroline Af Ugglas, en del av mitt hjärta och Louise Hofsten, Only the dead fish follow the stream. Båda två är fortfarande aktiva och en stor eloge till Louse Hofsten som trots sin svåra MS var med i "Så mycket bättre" och var som vanligt helt fantastisk! Caroline Af Ugglas tolkningar avJanis Joplin är helt underbara, en fantastisk skiva! Missa inte dessa två!

[@dannep018]

Such a gifted family. I see that some people have talked about Nene Cherrys half Sister Titiyo. (two of her greatest hits is "come Along" and "Talking to the man on the moon" Then you have Nene Cherrys half brother Eagle Eye Cherry with a massive hit called "Save tonight" but i would also recommend his other songs "Falling in love again" and "Streets of you" Then you also need to listen to Nene Cherrys doughter Mabel with her biggest hit "Dont call me up"

[@matsv201]

Full brother, if you are not refering to that they are half because they have the same father, and half because they have the same mother.

[@bbeightynine]

Nah Neneh and Eagle-Eye are full siblings - they have the same father and mother. (Their mother, Monika, is ethnical Swedish. Both Neneh and Eagle-Eye grew up in Skåne but actually have more of a Stockholm-accent than ”skånska”.)

[@eternity68]

Best era to be a teen was in the 80s-90s for sure , such incredibly good music and it exploded in different directions . All big artists like U2, Prince, Madonna.... Neneh rocks 🔥

[@glenngastonjonsson7954]

Didn't dance back then but for sure fell in love with Neneh Cherry. Try "Manchild" or "Seven seconds".

[@semi-sound]

She was based in London by then, so she barely registered as a Swedish artist in Sweden. But for a little while she was the epitome of cool, and MTV in London loved, loved, loved her.

[@loki76]

Her Stepfather that raised her is Jazz Musician "Don Cherry". She has a half brother Eagle-eye cherry a musician that made the song "Save tonight" and a half-sister with her biological dad Jah and she is Titiyo also a famous Singer in Sweden.

[@malinhaglund3989]

I was 17 when this song came out and I thought she was the coolast there was. Loved it then and still do!! Even though you can’t call it a swedish classic (yet) you must listen to her doughter’s song: Don’t call me up!! Titiyo’s song Man in the moon on the other hand is a huge classic 😃

[@theresenydahl9531]

Neneh Cherry (real name Marianne Karlsson) had a Swedish mother and the African musician Ahmadu Jah as parents, the US jazz musician Don Cherry was her stepfather and he's also father to Titiyo and Eagle Eye Cherry❤🇸🇪 Her daughter Mabel is a very succesful singer in the UK now. Neneh Cherry was ahead of her time, a really great person too❤🇸🇪 In her song "Manchild" from the same record you see all her children, including her stepson Marlon Roudette who is a great singer and now also an acclaimed music producer❤🇸🇪

[@firstsurname7099]

Neneh's a Swedish/Sierra Leonian Londoner/Brit (hey we'll nick people as well as countries, resources and artefacts!) who grew up in the US and you can hear and see all the influences, especially in her solo work

[@Jasmine-dk2nt]

Used to listen to this as a kid late 80's - early 90's and yes - the running man was hot here at that time! Now as an adult I truly understand the meaning of this song and appreciate her attitude 😊 It's a banger!

[@EllakGr]

Thanks! Finally a REAL late 80s classic! Me and my classmates were going wild to this one. It was a pretty turbulent time for me, but this song was one of those that made these shitty times a bit easier to get through. Fun fact: Neneh sang and performed with the feminist postpunk band The Slits in the early 80s in The UK and later with Rip Rig + Panic. Hence the awareness and attitude. Also her duett with Youssou N'Dour 'Seven Seconds' is highly recommended, but I think you might know that one already Jonathan? Excited to know 'Banankontakt' is next!

I like Neneh Cherry - 7 Seconds and I suspect that that song was more popular than this one (and to be honest be more considered a classic). Good song anyway :) and a nice interruption from the other classics.

The running man wasn't really a thing until a while after this video was released, a year later it was everywhere though. Soooo many 1990+ releases featured it. :) Regarding 1990, that's when Leila K (With Rob n' Raz) released 'Got to Get', which is surely the biggest swedish hit of that year. No running man in that video though afaik. ;)

[@kristoferhindersson7552]

Don't know if this can be called a "Swedish" classic exactly. The song was produced in the UK and to my knowledge there's no other connections to Sweden except Nenneh Cherry being born here (and she moved at a very young age to the US and later to the UK where the song was made.) It's a good song though. :)

It's hard not to like Neneh Cherry. Talented and sympathetic. I don't think anyone has recommended Svenne och Lotta. He was in a group called Hep Stars and she was an American singer. For a while they both performed in Hep Stars and then became the duo Svenne och Lotta. Unfortunately they split up a couple of years ago.

Åh en gammal favorit! 😍 Den hade jag glömt.

[@matsbluckert]

Min rekommendation är att kolla Nenehs video "Buddy X" och sedan megabangern "7 seconds" och, om du blir intresserad gå vidare med vad hon gjorde innan succén (med Rip, rig & panic: "Go!Go!Go! (This is it!)" och det hon gjort efter. Om du vill se mer. Sen håller jag med om the one and only Leila K: "Got to get" eller "Electric" och Titiyo: "Come along" och lägger till Senabo Sey: "Younger". Sen finns det en hel värld av fantastiska nu verksamma kvinnliga svenska artister att upptäcka: Anna Ternheim, Säkert, Miss Li, Anna von Hauswolff, Amason, Cherrie, Sarah Klang, Frida Hyvönen osv osv Jag antar att du inte spelar Robyn för att du redan hört hennes största hits?
