Bifrost is a rock band from Denmark. The early band was considered one of the last of the Danish flower power revolution bands [1] and is best known for the songs "Hej Maria" (translated: "Hello Maria") and "Det er morgen" (translated: "It's Morning"), both written and sung by keyboardist Tom Lundén. While leading Bifrost, Lundén also wrote the 1976 protest song "I kan ikke slå os ihjel" (translated: "You Cannot Kill Us") as an anthem for the revolutionary hippie commune of Christiania.[2] Founded in 1974. The early band consisted of Tom Lundén, Ida Klemann, Finn Jensen, Torben Andersen, Asger Skjold-Rasmussen, Mogens Ficher and dancer and singer Annapurna. In 1977, Mikael Miller replaced Finn Jensen on guitar. In 1978, John Teglgaard joined the group as an additional guitarist. [3] From 1976 to 1996, Bifrost released nine albums on the CBS and Mercury Records labels.
