Live at Viru Folk Festival (09.08.2009) in Käsmu, Estonia.
New Värttinä without Janne Lappalainen, Markku Lepistö and Antto Varilo. Aija Puurtinen replaced Mari Kaasinen.
I know that quality is bad, but I add this video from ViruFolk webcam, because some of people wasn't there and some other want to see new Värttinä's songs arrangements without Janne, Markku and Antto.

They've lost it completely, but I don't think it has all that much to do with Aija replacing Mari. Time has done its dirty work on them step by step. They try to survive as artists and as a group by exploiting their own past, but they just don't have enough heart anymore to defend the name of such an extraordinary band as Värttinä was in its prime. I seriously believe they should call it a day.

Värttinä's nothing without Mari, and I don't like Aija: she ruined the band in 2005, when they worked together, in my opinion.

They'll be back, don't worry. Mari won't be able to stay away that long. Janne too.
