X’MAS CONCERT In Hong Kong

10 December 2010．HKCEC Hall 5BC

ABBA Music Retains Sunshine In Hearts ABBA’s songs have been widely popular in Hong Kong accompanying us throughout the simple and lovely days of the 70s and 80s. Nowadays, their songs are still attractive to people of all ages, especially the golden portion of the society, who are highly educated and are willing to spend for quality entertainment. Listening to ABBA’s songs will bring them back to the beautiful old days and reminds them of the sunshine in their hearts.

The Legend In Pop Music ABBA, the Swedish pop legend of the 70s, was formed by 2 couples — Björn Ulvaeus and Agnetha Fältskog, Benny Andersson and Anni-Frid Lyngstad. Together they have produced international big hits with impressive melody and disco beats which have topped the charts worldwide from the 70s to 80s. Since their break-up in 1982, the group has not reunited. Yet, ABBA’s music continues to be popular among people of all ages. Despite their break-up, ABBA remains a fixture of radio playlists and is one of the world’s best selling bands. Having sold more than 370 million records worldwide, they still sell three million records a year now. Their music can also be found in hot movies like Muriel’s Wedding, Miss Congeniality, Johnny English and many more. It is hard to imagine the history of pop and disco music without the contributions of ABBA. For more than three decades, ABBA’s music has swept across Europe, the United States, Canada, South Africa, Asia, Australia and New Zealand. Enjoying equal fame with Elvis Presley and The Beatles, ABBA is recognized internationally as a pop music icon.

Favorites Of The Superstars

ABBA has not only enthralled music lovers, but also the superstars of our ages. ABBA’s music has been highly praised by Björk, Oasis and Queen. Bono, the leader of legendary rock band U2 has said, “None of us is qualified to talk about pop music in front of ABBA.” The pop diva Madonna has always admits being a big fan of ABBA. She has sampled ABBA’s melody from the song “Gimme! Gimme! Gimme!” in her 2005 hit “Hung Up”. It brings people back to the disco wave of the ABBA era.

Mamma Mia! ABBA Wave is Here The music of ABBA has been re-arranged into the successful musical Mamma Mia! which has toured worldwide. In 2008 a movie version starring superstars Meryl Streep, Pierce Brosnan and Colin Firth was released and was making a big-hit among even the younger generation.

恆久流行。由 Björn Ulvaeus 及 Agnetha Fältskog，與 Benny Andersson 及 Anni-Frid Lyngstad 兩對

夫婦組成的瑞典樂隊 ABBA 在七十年代紅透全世界。可惜，事業與婚姻不能兩全其美，這兩對

夫婦檔在事業高峰時婚姻不再，導致樂隊於 1982 年解散。即使歌迷們一再要求，但礙於婚姻的

失敗，多年來 ABBA 堅拒復合。於是，歌迷們再也無緣欣賞到 ABBA 現場演出的風彩。 縱使緣盡解散‧遺愛遍地開花 雖然感情路上坎坷，但 ABBA 帶給世人的歌卻是充滿歡樂的。為了延續 ABBA 的快樂精神，她

們的支持者絞盡腦汁，使盡渾身解數去重現 ABBA 的音樂於舞台上。 於是，除了有由 ABBA 經典歌曲組合而成的音樂劇《Mamma Mia!》之外，更有由梅麗史翠普

領銜主演的全球賣座電影《Mamma Mia!》 但是 ABBA 的歌迷還是最享受 ABBA 歌曲的現場演唱。結果，有兩對青梅竹馬的男女，立志把

ABBA 的風彩重新帶上舞台，達成一眾 ABBA 樂迷的心願，他們就是 ABBA by ARRIVAL。
