Petri Hakala Kirjo THE mandolinmeister of Finland, member of the Helsinki Mandoliners and a dozen other ensembles, in his 'solo' debut, joined by a great group of Finnish musicians on trad, neo-trad and non-trad alike.

| "Finnish musical fixture Petri Hakala finally has his own recording, Kirjo (Spectrum). At home on a variety of strings, including cittern, guitar, and fiddle, Hakala is plainly most comfortable on mandolin, a challenging little instrument from which he wrings articulate and varied effects with the seeming effortlessness denoting thorough mastery. The supporting musicians on these twelve tracks, mostly Hakala compositions, are also a recurring joy, collaborating in an often startling traditional sound with unusual tonal combinations and a profound jazz influence." - Jim Foley, RootsWorld |

Please note!
Most CDs have been
imported from Europe or Asia.
They are not all
shrink-wrapped, and I am not
going to con you by wrapping them
here just to make you think they
have been sterilized in America.
We guarantee that the CDs and the
contents are all brand new and in
perfect condition. Whenever I
can, I use recycled shipping
materials. They may not look as
pretty on the outside, but they save
money and keep the trash dumps a
little bit emptier.
