Olarin Musiikki
One of the first and most important labels to record and distribute the folk and newly composed folk music of Finland was Olarin. Under the direction of Timo Närväinen, this small independent label led the way in making the music of Finland an international phenomena. These recordings, old and new, stand the test of time, present important young artists and famous artists from the previous generation.

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.
