A new recording from the Värttinä accordionist
features another great group of Finnish musicians
including Petri Hakala (mandolin), Jouko Kyhälä
(harmonium, harmonicas), Pekka Lehti (bass), Janne
Viksten (banjo, guitar), Janne Lappalainen
(bouzouki) and Lassi Logren (nyckelharpa). Markku
Lepistö says: "The album tells the story of my life
since I left the Ostrobothnia region. Along the way
there have been ups and downs, rocky paths, rail
tracks, plenty of pitch-black highways, crossroads,
comings and goings. On my journey I picked up the
pictures and landscapes that are played in this
recording. This album wouldn´t exist without the
friends who have shared my journey."
