In the Nordic region, in countries like Sweden and Norway, there is a kind of pop music, in Swedish called "dansband" and in Norwegian called "danseband". It both means "dance band", but has nothing to do with electronic music. Instead, it is a term for bands who play a kind of popular music to dance partner dance to. Most songs are about love, some about friendship, peace and nature and native districts. Many people in Europe have heard a song by a band of this type. It was back in 1993, when Swedish band Arvingarna competed with the song "Eloise" in the Eurovision Song Contest. The song finished 7th. Some bands, like the Swedish bands "Kikki Danielssons" and "Lotta Engbergs", got their names from the singer.
