Ville Ojanen
Rautavaara (Seita)
Ville Ojanen is a chameleon in the field of Finnish folk music. He plays his fiddle like a Finn but creates his own contemporary music out of various local and global elements, where traditional acoustic instruments interact with modern technology, creating a contrasting tension. In one moment the colors of Ojanens fiddle and viola are Arctic and archaic, the next they turn beautiful like a frosty night in the Finnish winter. This is uniquely Finnish contemporary pop and folk.
