Comentario de / Comments by Carl Magnus Palm sobre / on Görel:
Görel started out as ABBA manager Stig Anderson's secretary in 1969, soon becoming his invaluable right-hand woman, and, in 1979, acquiring the title of Vice President of Polar Music International. She worked closely with the ABBA members and developed personal friendships with them. After the ABBA years, she set up shop with Benny, being involved in all his projects, while continuing to represent ABBA, handling most enquiries and ensuring that their interests were protected.
My contact with Görel started in the early 1990s, when I was researching and writing my first ABBA book, ABBA – The Complete Recording Sessions. Not only did she help me set up my interviews with Björn, Benny and Frida, but she also facilitated many other aspects of the project and saw to it that I got what I needed when I needed it. She did so several times over the ensuing decades, not least when I collaborated with her then-husband Anders Hanser on the book From ABBA To Mamma Mia!
It may sound trivial, but my most cherished memories of Görel were the many times she consulted her old calendars from the ABBA-era to help me nail down certain dates. For an ABBA researcher, those calendars were gold. I would send an email with my requests and then she would usually phone me up with whatever she had found. Being a busy lady, with her plate full of projects related to the present day – and, as I believe she told an interviewer once, not one for looking back very much – it would have been easy for her to say no to these requests to go back in time on my behalf, but if she could help, she did.
I knew that I could count on a straightforward reply and reaction whenever I emailed her to let her know what I was up to, which I usually did if I was embarking on an ABBA-related project. Also, by the many posts I've seen online over the past couple of days, I can tell that she always treated ABBA fans with kindness. My condolences go out to her family and everybody else who knew her well.
Thanks for everything, Görel.

IN MEMORIAM: GÖREL HANSER
1949–2026
Görel Hanser, one of the most trusted and influential figures in ABBA’s inner circle for more than five decades, died in June 2026. She was 76.
This is one of the most difficult articles ABBA INFO has ever had to write.
Not because Görel Hanser’s accomplishments are difficult to describe. They are not. Her place in the history of ABBA, Polar Music and Swedish and international popular music is secure and beyond dispute.
The difficulty is that some people become so woven into a story that it becomes impossible to imagine the story without them.
For more than fifty years, Görel Hanser was one of those people. When she joined Stig Anderson's organisation in 1969, ABBA did not yet exist. The extraordinary global phenomenon that would eventually captivate hundreds of millions of people around the world still belonged to the future. Yet from those early days onward, Görel would become one of the few constants in a story otherwise defined by change.
She was there before the breakthrough.
She was there during the years when ABBA became one of the most successful acts in music history.
She was there when the world believed the story had ended.
And she was still there when ABBA’s remarkable return once again captured the world’s imagination decades later – and for everything in between.
The simplest way to describe Görel Hanser would be to call her ABBA's manager. It is also the least accurate. Managers handle careers.
Over the decades she became organiser, advisor, negotiator, producer, strategist and trusted confidante. She navigated record companies, television networks, tours, major productions, international launches and countless business decisions.
But none of those qualities explain why her passing has touched so many people so deeply. The answer lies elsewhere.
To understand Görel Hanser, one must understand that while the world saw ABBA, Görel saw Agnetha, Björn, Benny and Frida. She understood the difference.
For more than half a century she occupied a unique position between one of the world's most famous groups and the world that surrounded it. Journalists, broadcasters, promoters, record executives, business partners, collaborators and fans all found their way to ABBA through Görel. At the same time, she protected the four individuals at the centre of the phenomenon from the endless demands that global fame inevitably brings. She became the bridge between ABBA and the world.
That role required far more than organisational skill. It required judgement, discretion and an extraordinary understanding of people. Görel knew where the boundaries were. She knew when an opportunity should be pursued and when it should be declined. She knew when to open a door and when to quietly close one. Most importantly, she understood that behind the records, the tours, the headlines and the success stood four human beings.
That understanding earned something money cannot buy and success cannot guarantee. It earned trust. Not for a few years. Not for a decade. For a lifetime.
In interviews over the years, Görel rarely spoke about herself. When she did, what emerged was not the portrait of a powerful executive but of a remarkably grounded and deeply human person. She described herself as someone who loved life, who was easily moved to tears and who took pride not in her professional achievements but in having created a good life for the people she loved. She enjoyed being generous. She cared about family. She cared about friendships. She cared about people.
Those who knew her best paint a remarkably consistent picture.
Anni-Frid Lyngstad once described her as both sensitive and strong, a woman of great integrity and a great heart whose care for others often exceeded her care for herself. Tommy Körberg called her an organisational genius with a heart of gold.
Together, those memories reveal something that no job title ever could: Görel Hanser's greatest gift was not management. It was care. She cared about people. She cared about protecting those who depended on her. And she cared enough to devote more than half a century of her life to doing all of those things extraordinarily well.
Perhaps that is why Anni-Frid once described her as ABBA's anchor and mediator. It is difficult to imagine a more fitting description. Through triumphs and disappointments, through marriages and divorces, through births, losses, celebrations and setbacks, Görel remained a steady presence. She was not simply there for the career. She was there for the life that unfolded around it.
Many people worked with ABBA. Very few remained by their side for more than fifty years.
As news of her passing spread, tributes began arriving from every corner of the ABBA world. They came from people who had known her professionally, personally and sometimes only briefly. Yet a common theme emerged again and again. People spoke about her kindness. Her warmth. Her generosity. Her ability to make time for others regardless of who they were.
In an age increasingly fascinated by visibility, Görel Hanser represented something different. She never seemed interested in being the story. She was interested in helping the story succeed.
She stood close enough to guide, close enough to protect and close enough to care, while always allowing others to occupy the spotlight.
The music remains. The records remain. The films, productions and memories remain. Future generations will continue to discover ABBA and marvel at one of the most extraordinary stories popular music has ever produced.
What many of them may never fully realise is how much of that story rested, quietly and securely, in the hands of one remarkable woman.
ABBA INFO has spent many years documenting the history of ABBA. In that history, some people appear because they were famous. Others appear because they were important.
Görel Hanser belongs to a far rarer category. She was indispensable. Not because she sought recognition. Not because she demanded attention.
But because for more than half a century she embodied something increasingly rare: competence without ego, authority without arrogance and loyalty without condition.
ABBA’s story cannot be told without Görel Hanser. Nor can the story of countless fans, journalists, collaborators and friends whose lives she touched along the way.
She was the firm, kind and reliable bridge between ABBA and the world.
And for more than fifty years, no one crossed that bridge without encountering her warmth, her wisdom and her humanity.

Regresa Presuntos Implicados, ahora como dúo solo con José Luís y Nacho con esta canción "LLAMA". Actualización 15/JUN, lío en Presuntos al ser acusados de maltrato por parte de la segunda vocalista, Lidia Rodríguez. Culebrón en otro grupo, se caen los mitos. + info al final.

Hace ya unos años se cerró un ciclo muy bonito en el que, junto a Lydia, cumplimos muchas de nuestras expectativas y disfrutamos enormemente de la música. Estamos muy agradecidos a Lydia por haber compartido su enorme talento con nosotros y por todas las cosas bonitas que nos pasaron a los tres en esa etapa.
Lydia tiene ahora su carrera en solitario y nosotros dos nos juntamos de vez en cuando, más que para recordar viejos tiempos, para compartir algunas ideas que van surgiendo.
Y, sobre todo, para disfrutar de una amistad que se ha forjado a lo largo de más de 30 años en la carretera, los escenarios y tras atravesar momentos bonitos y también difíciles.
Seguimos siendo los mismos de siempre. Nos dedicamos a la música por amor y esta es ahora nuestra manera de disfrutarla.
Siempre desde el respeto al proyecto, a Lydia y a Sole, a los tiempos que compartimos con ambas y a todas las personas que nos apoyaron.
La música es muy evocadora, y muchos podrían pensar que la tentación es querer recuperar el pasado. Pero no; el artista vive, irremediablemente, mirando al futuro. Esa es nuestra condena y también nuestra bendición.
Gracias por acompañarnos.
Juan Luis y Nacho

3⁰ AQUÍ TAMÉN SE FALA FESTIVAL
O que naceu nun instituto público da Coruña... xa é un fenómeno que cruza fronteiras: o Festival #AquíTaménSeFala celebra a súa 3ª edición hoxe venres 12 de xuño na Praza da Tolerancia e dá o salto internacional coa incorporación de Carolina Deslandes, unha das artistas máis importantes da música de Portugal.
Xunto a ela subirán tres ramos da escena galega: Apolo 18, Kid Mount e De Ninghures. Tres alfaias que representan toda a forza, todo o dinamismo e todo o xenio creativo que atravesa o noso país.
Pero isto vai moito máis alá da música... e non só porque este sexa o único festival profesional de Europa promovido desde un instituto, senón porque ATSF é, por méritos da mocidade, o maior movemento de dinamización lingüística do país exercido activamente por máis de 25.000 rapaces e rapazas.
Os que puxeron a falar galego a Viggo Mortensen. As que empurraron o cambio do topónimo do Deportivo. Os que gravaron os Rapants ou Grande Amore. As que colaron máis de 50.000 cartaces por todo o país. As que estudan en máis de 300 centros de ensino que empurran isto.
Un movemento que está escribindo a historia e que meteu na praza da tolerancia a 5000 persoas en cada edición.
