New in the catalog:

Tsuumi Sound System - Hotas
The Finnish modern folk music group consists of eight musicians with
very different backgrounds. The record was made by a steady
eight-piece group known for spectacular live performances and with the
assistance of producer Roger Tallroth they bring their on-stage energy
into the studio in a way they have not done before. Highly recommended.

Frigg - Live
The Finnish-Norwegian group produces fresh Scandinavian folk fiddling
accompanied by fretted instruments, upright bass and endless energy in
this live recording made in concert in 2007.

Timo Alakotila and Johanna Juhola - Vapaassa tilassa
One of the fathers of Finnish chamber folk, pianist Timo Alakotila
joins forces with accordionist Johanna Juhola (a member of Troka among
other projects), in duets, solos and small ensemble arrangements that
include Aili Ikonen, Petri Hakala, Jouni Järvelä, Pekka Kuusisto and
Roger Tallroth. Excellent and highly recommended.

Jonas Knutsson and Horn Please - Horn Please!
Swedish folk and horn music on six saxophones, bass and percussion.
Led by veteran saxophonist/composer/arranger Jonas Knutsson, some of
the prominent younger Swedish folk musicians are presented in music
that goes from the traditional to the newly composed, and from the
strictly arranged to the wildly improvised. The horn players:
Alexandra Särström, Å sa Johansson, Hanna Wiskari, Klas Toresson,
Daniel Carlsson; plus Bengt Jonasson and Petter Berndalen on bass and
percussion. Compositions by Knutsson and traditional music from
different parts of Sweden and South India. Highly recommended

Kirjava lintu - Kirjava lintu
Kirjava Lintu's first recording contains new, original, acoustic folk
music composed to the poetry of several Finnish poets ( Helvi
Hämäläinen, Hannele Huovi, Aki Luostarinen and Lauri Pohjanpää).
Founded in 2004, the band's acoustic compositions are influenced by
Scandinavian folk music, from Swedish polskas to Finnish ballads
composed and arranged by the harmonium player Juha Kujanpää and
performed by vocalists, two violins, Swedish nyckelharpa, harmonium,
double bass and percussion.

Alamaailman Vasarat - Maahan
The 2006 release by this amazing Finnish ensemble presents a clash of
ideas from rock, folk, jazz and the avant garde, led by brass and wind
instruments and a dramatic dual-cello section. Totally unique.

Fagel Roc - Kropp och Själ
Sweden-based Fågel Roc gets its inspiration from their own home and
around the world, and the band of synth-guitar, keyboards, bass and
percussion uses an excellent pallat of Latin rhythms, Oriental
melodies, western pop, Bagdad rock, and what they call Etnoschlager.
They are vocally led by the wonderful Nadia Louis, an Iraq singer now
based in Sweden who works in many languages including Assyrian and
Swedish.

Milla Viljamaa and Johanna Juhola - Duo
Johanna Juhola (accordion) and Milla Viljamaa (piano) are young urban
fusion-folk musicians from Finland. They began their collaboration at
the Sibelius Academy. Overall the duo's repertoire is diverse,
features idiosyncratic arranging and performing styles with influences
from tango nuevo a la Piazzolla, many kinds of jazz and the folk music
of various countries, with lost of room left for variation and
improvisation.

Pekko Käppi - Jos ken pahoin uneksii
The Finnish traditional horse hair lyre called jouhikko is transformed
from the tradition by this master musician. His influences come mainly
from Finnish folk- and song tradition, but also the North American
root music as well as Russian and Siberian indigenous music . This is
Käppi's first full album, where he concentrates on the rock side of
life and starts the record with a beat that goes on like a steam
train, combining jouhikko with folkrock, song tradition from other
cultures, old gospels and psychedelia. Remarkable new music.

Frifot - Flyt
The super-group of Nordic roots music returns in 2007 with another
fantastic release. Per Gudmundson, Ale Möller and Lena Willemark
pretty well define the new folk-movement in Sweden,and this release
finds them returning to a rougher, rootsier sound. Highly recommended.
