Santeri Sihvonen & Karjalan Konnat

Lätsä, Idän Voima, Santeri Sihvonen & Karjalan Konnat (record release party)

Folk rock newcomer Santeri Sihvonen & Karjalan Konnat celebrate the release of their debut album. On the same night, Lätsä and Idän voima, one of the most prominent bands on the Finnish indie scene, will perform.

At the centre of the music of the fresh folk rock band Santeri Sihvonen & Karjalan Konnat is songwriter Santeri Sihvonen's narrative lyrics that look at humanity, social and society. The band's music is characterized by catchy vocal and harmonica melodies, band playing characteristic of roots music and a lap steel atmosphere. 

Lätsä is one of the most prominent songwriters of the newer generation. The charismatic and distinctive artist has been compared to both Arppa and Neil Young. There is something untamed and magical about the gigs: the rough and edgy sound of the band, reinforced with brass, is channeling a thundering charge of energy, and the gigs have gathered a rapturous reception. 

Idän Voima, which has already grown from Ville Nieminen's solo project into a full-sized orchestra, offers its own vision of dark melancholy and hopeless romanticism, wrapped in guitar rock, "jytä", and corduroy psychedelia. The band's songs have been playing on popular Spotify lists since the first release.
