VILDÁ´s music is a unique combination of mystic joiking, swinging rhythms and inventive improvisations. The sound is strongly influenced by the Saami culture´s close connection to nature, contemporary pop and Finnish folk. Hildá Länsman´s joiking melds with Viivi Maria Saarenkylä´s expressive accordion, taking us on a journey to the mountains of the north and on to the windswept tree-tops of Saami country.

Hildá Länsman – vocals, joik, percussion

PIIRAINEN | BLOM | COMPANY was born out of collaboration of two modern day musicians J-P Piirainen and Venla Ilona Blom who were craving for a deeper connection between folk music and folk dance. They combine acoustic guitar and beatboxing creating a totally new sound.
Despite using modern sounds and contemporary playing techniques, the company’s music is deeply rooted in traditional dance music and folk dance of Finland.

J-P Piirainen – acoustic guitar, guitele
Venla Ilona Blom – beatboxing, vocals
Viivi Maria Saarenkylä – accordion

In the footsteps of a Jaeger – a guided tour

“Why on earth does pharmacist Roos invite Russians living in Kokkola to his home for evening parties, even though he is active in the jaeger movement? It endangers the safety of the entire city when young men visit the pharmacy suspiciously often.” How did the jaeger movement affect Kokkola? Kristiina Teerikangas and Elisa Maunumäki tell […]
