On December 12, Musikhjälpen locks Oscar Zia, Tina Mehrafzoon and Klas Eriksson in a glass cage on Kungstorget in Gothenburg. In a 144-hour long live broadcast, they will engage all of Sweden in the theme “For a safer childhood fleeing war”.
– I love Musikhjälpen and look forward to the week very much, it is both very pleasant and very important. A week where together we learn more about what the world looks like, how well we are doing and how we can help others with such small means as wishing for a song, says Oscar Zia who was also one of the presenters last year.
The comedian and actor Klas Eriksson usually gets involved with Musikhjälpen and he has also visited the cage.
– The music aid has become a bit of a Christmas tradition and every year I have tried to get involved in different ways. What I’m most looking forward to is getting as many people involved as possible. This year’s theme is more important than ever. There are many families and children who are fleeing war right now. Children should just be children and not have to be on the run, says Klas Eriksson.
Last year, music journalist Tina Mehrafzoon was Musikhjälpen’s traveling reporter and reported from Lebanon.
– For me, Musikhjälpen is a week where we show the very best versions of ourselves – it feels very warm and supportive. I have met children on the run and seen how the insecurity made them stop playing, laughing and dreaming. How can we have a bright future if children can’t dream?, says Tina Mehrafzoon.
