About Sinikka (from The Norwegian Traditional Music Agency)
Sinikka Langeland is a singer and player of the kantele, the traditional Finnish plucked zither. She draws her inspiration from the folk music traditions of Solør and the Finnskogen area of Norway, an area close to the Swedish border which has had a strong Finno-Ugric culture since the 1600's. Her main emphasis is on mystical songs and the tradition of the Kalevala, but she also includes in her repertory ballads from the Middle Ages and has uncovered hitherto unknown material from Solør and Eastern Norway. Sinikka accompanies her singing on a chromatic kantele with 38 strings. She works together with other folk and jazz musicians, and she also composes, having produced works commissioned by the Hedmark Theater and NRK, the Norwegian National Broadcasting. Her singing and playing has been featured in television and radio programs.

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.
