Leif Bloms facts for kids

Leif Bloms was a popular Swedish music group, known as a "dansband." A dansband plays dance music, often for people to dance to in ballrooms or at events. This band was from Växjö, a city in Sweden. They were very successful, especially in the mid to late 1970s. Their albums even made it onto the Swedish album charts!

The band played music together for almost 40 years. They started in 1956 and finally stopped on December 31, 1995.

From 1981, a talented singer named Mona Gustafsson joined the band. She even wrote one of their famous songs! This song, called Dej ska jag älska all min tid, won a big song contest in 1992.
