"När stenkakan slog" aired on Swedish television in the early 1970s, and featured songs of the 78RPM era performed by singers in period costumes.
The first episode featured songs from 1915 to 1925. One of the singers who appeared was Anni-Frid Lyngstad, who later became a member of ABBA. Another act which appears is Svenne & Lotta, a real-life married couple who sadly divorced several years ago. Lotta is actually an African-American singer who moved to Sweden in the late-1960s. Also featured are Björn Skifs, Mona Wessman, and Sten Nilsson.
I found the episode enjoyable even though I don't speak Swedish. Strangely, the show is not listed on IMDb. In fact, many European music shows of the 1970s aren't listed on IMDb.
Here's that episode:
