Kantele Music Fusion

Kantele Music Fusion is an attempt to find new cultural niches for kantele music beyond its traditional Finnish/Karelian cultural context. I try to initiate an intercultural cooperation between kantele composers and musicians and representatives of foreign cultures. The videos I publish are designed to show that a creative fusion of kantele music with diverse foreign cultures is possible and can bring inspiring results.

This work is supported by a grant from the Karelia Cross-Border Cooperation Programme (Project KA3100 "Kantele Goes Global," http://kareliacbc.fi/en/projects/kantele-go).
