I agree, this is one of the most amazing singing performances I've ever heard. You have many videos uploaded here, and commenting on each of them, repeating my astonishment, would be too time-consumming (an I haven't found the box for submitting a general post on your profile page), so let me tell you it here that not only this, but also all your videos uploaded here are wonderful :)

This is actually the first channel like this here, that I have discovered, devoted to this type of music :)

Thank you very much!

I just want that people who don't know finnish music, can taste this great sound and I think youtube is the best pleace to do it. Please still watch my channel :) I'll add a lot of finnish music in the future!
