Popol Vuh (Norwegian band)

Popol Vuh (Norwegian band)

Popol Vuh was a 1970s Norwegian progressive rock band, that became popular in the 1970s Norwegian rock scene with such songs as "All we have is the past", "Queen of all Queens" and "Music Box".

The band later changed its name to "Popol Ace" to avoid confusion with the German band Popol Vuh.

The band's downfall came with the lead singer Jahn Teigen leaving the band for a solo career.
