Maria Kalaniemi "Kuhmoo päässä"

http://www.facebook.com/kantelar

Maria Kalaniemi is a Finnish accordionist. She was originally classically trained, but has become mostly as folk musician having played this music from childhood, besides her classical music studies, and also at the folk music department of the Sibelius Academy. Technically brilliant as a player, and adept at improvisation, she is also a very powerful, intuitive and sensitive composer, with pieces that stylistically touch in numerous areas but feature her own personality as the driving force. Melody is the meaning and with Maria, listeners are sure to feel her message deeply.

Music to brighten up months of winter darkness... beautiful playing and a nice tune.

The accordion is 'Lasse Pihlajamaa Special' which is a common brand in Finland. It is manufactured in Italy by Pigini.
