lillebjørn nilsen

bjørn `` lillebjørn '' falk nilsen -lrb- born 21 december 1950 in oslo -rrb- is a prominent norwegian singer-songwriter and folk musician .
he is also considered somewhat the leading `` voice of oslo '' thanks to numerous classic songs about the city from the 1970s and up .
he also makes up the norwegian supergroup gitarkameratene with jan eggum , halvdan sivertsen and Øystein sunde .
in 1987 he received the fritt ord honorary award .
nilsen has collaborated with his friend and idol pete seeger on numerous occasions .
he adapted pete seeger 's song `` my rainbow race '' into norwegian as `` barn av regnbuen '' -lrb- `` children of the rainbow '' -rrb- .
anders behring breivik said that he hated that song , and saw it as a symbol of `` cultural marxism '' and multiculturalism .
in response , on 26 april 2012 , over 40,000 norwegians sang it publicly outside his trial .
