Collection: Finnish Folk

Finnish Folk is a rich tapestry of traditional music deeply rooted in the cultural heritage of Finland. This genre often features haunting melodies and intricate harmonies that reflect the country's vast landscapes and folklore. At its heart lies the enchanting sound of the kantele, a plucked string instrument that has been central to Finnish music for centuries. The gentle, harp-like tones of the kantele weave through compositions, creating an ethereal atmosphere characteristic of Finnish Folk. Another significant influence comes from Karelian Folk, which brings elements from the historical Karelia region spanning parts of Finland and Russia. Karelian Folk infuses the genre with distinctive vocal techniques, including the use of runo-singers and laments, as well as unique rhythmic patterns and instrumental styles. Together, these sub-genres contribute to a captivating musical tradition that continues to evolve while honoring its ancient roots.
