cd cover Otto Hotakainen
Polkka Otto
17.99


Finnish fiddler Otto Hotakainen (1908-1990) came from Halsua, in central Ostrobothnia. By the 1970s he had become a recognized star of the Finnish folk fiddling firmament (no small feat in a nation of incredible fiddlers), and his compositions were considered among the best written. These 24 tunes were compiled by his son Risto as a tribute to his mastery and love of the music.

The tunes are presented in solo performance, or accompanied by kantele or harmonium.

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.
