Sweden s oldest DJ

06-02-2024 07:00

Madelein Månsson is 79 years old. She likes music and dancing. She is the oldest DJ in Sweden.

Madelein becomes a DJ because she cannot find a place to dance. She makes a disco for people who are over 50 years old. The disco starts at 6 pm. People can dance for four hours. Madelein says that people need to have fun.

Madelein’s husband dies. It is a difficult time for her. But she stays positive. She is still a DJ. Her story teaches us to try new things and have joy in music. No matter how old we are.

Difficult words: positive (thinking good things, not sad), joy (when you feel happy), no matter (when something is not a problem or important).

You can watch the original video in the Level 3 section.

What inspired Madelein Månsson to become a DJ at the age of 56?
