A Finnish wedding night

A delightfully fresh debut disc of originals in the spirit of trad plus new takes on folk music, both instrumental and with vocal seasoning. The combination of viola, 15-stringed kantele and two 2-row accordions fearlessly exploits the instruments’ potential in the hands of Iida Savolainen, Maija Pokela and Miia Palomäki.

A good beat blends with humour and sensitivity in this release by the spiritual offspring of the old folk players.
