About Linda Pira: If you merge all the praise heaped upon Linda Pira and put it in a pile, you would easily reach the peak of Mount Everest. With The Salazar Brothers and Redline having her back, she takes Swedish hip hop to new grounds, here she goes wild with her rhymes. Her debut EP Matriarch (2013) was hailed by critics and she took home three Grammy nominations at the 2014 Gala -Newcomer of the Year, Artist of the Year and Hip hop / soul of the year. Since then the victory train has just continued. In case the Grammy nominations didn´t say enough, the 2015 P3 Guld gala certainly did. With “Knäpper my fingers (remix)” Linda Pira won song of the year – and also the prestigious title as the hip-hop / soul of year. Linda Pira also appeared in the TV4 program “Lyckliga gatan” in which she interpreted the Mats Paulsson classic ”Visa vid vindens ängar”.
About the Salazar brothers: Swedish hiphop began around the time Latin Kings was founded by Salla and Cheppe, among others. Since that day, The Salazar Brothers has been around.
