One of the truly important recordings in the Finnish folk and new music revival in the 1980s, by a group of artists who became the vanguard of the movement in the 1990s and continue on today.
Maria Kalaniemi (accordion, voice), Anna-Kaisa Liedes (kanteles, voice), Liisa Matveinen (kanteles, voice), Anu Itäpelto (kanteles, voice), Leena Joutsenlahti (winds, voice) all produced music in this particular ensemble that even today is as adventurous as they have ever been. This recording was produced by Heikki Laitenen, who also contribues some compositions, and his avant garde stamp is to be found in every track.
This CD is not for every lover of "Finnish folk music." It moves from lyrical to edgy, from gorgeous vocals to agressive accordion experiments, from tradition to the future.
