Two great Finnish singers ( formerly of Niekku and Hedningarna) re-imagine the runic poems of Mateli Kuivalatar (1771-1846). New music and traditional tunes mingle together in this unique work of Finnish heritage. The singers are accompaned by by kanteles, nyckelharpa )(drone fiddle) and jouhikko (horse-hair fiddle).

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.
