Anna-Kaisa Liedes "Olin sairas"

http://www.facebook.com/kantelar

One of Finlands more prominent and progressively minded folk music singers, Anna-Kaisa Liedes has been an integral part of the development of the modern experimental folk music scene for over twenty years. Besides Finno-Ugrian song tradition, Anna-Kaisa Liedes specializes in voice improvisation. She has been performing worldwide as a solo artist and with groups such as Niekku and MeNaiset, and has composed and performed music for film and theatre. Liedes has recorded several albums both solo and with different ensembles. Her first solo CD Oi Miksi was internationally re-released by Riverboat Records 1994. The music of Anna-Kaisa Liedes and the Utua group has its roots deep in the Finnish-Carelian-Ingrian folk song tradition. Liedes combines traditional verses with contemporary musical idiom, giving them a fresh and personal touch. Inspired by the eternal themes of traditional poetry love, disappointment, passion, and the odd interlacement of love and hatred, she paints her epic interpretations with subtle tones and expressive vowel colours. The musicians of the Utua group come from the Finnish folk music and jazz scenes.

First time I heard Anna-Kaisa Liedes, but being Dutch, that is not a big surprise. Very pleasant song,some French influence (musette/accordeon) but could be South American (bandoneon) as well. In combination with the Finnish language(cannot understand 1 word!) and the attractive warm voice the result is that I hope there is more of her on Youtube.
