Värttinä is releasing an album full of new music on Kalevala Day 2025, and the album release concert will be organised in Vuotalo!
Värttinä is the crown jewel of Finnish folk music, known for the razor-sharp harmonies and catchy melodies sung by three lead soloists.
The core of the ensemble’s music is singing that has its roots in the singing tradition of the Karelian region. Värttinä has been at the very top of the Finnish folk music scene for more than 40 years, which highlights their position as a moderniser of Finnish folk music and a pioneer of Finnish music exports.
The band that broke the boundaries of the music industry with its Oi dai album in the 1990s has toured the world for decades, receiving praise for their skilfulness and innovation that respects traditions.
