Freda' (Swedish for Friday) is a pop group from Gnosjö in Sweden, formed in 1983, dissolved in 1993 and revived in 2009. (Uno Svenningsson, the group's singer and songwriter, pursued a solo career during its hiatus.) The group chose its name to commemorate the Friday on which it won a rock band competition. Its breakthrough hit was the song "Vindarna", released in 1986; it won Grammis Awards in 1988 and 1990.[1]
