Suo
(The Marshland)
The music of Suo has a rich heritage which descends from the landscape of archaic Finnish runo-singing: The spoken tradition of Kalevala poetry, the fascinating myths and spells, the ageless flow of Kantele and Jouhikko music.
Interpreted by this skillful trio, the forgotten music breathes once more and its powerful capacity to move the listener is rediscovered: The energetic guitar of Roope Aarnio, the nimble fiddle of Emilia Lajunen and the powerful voice of Veera Voima will take you on an unforgettable journey.
The other elements contributing to Suo's unique sound are the medieval nyckelharpa, the 15-string kantele, the shamanic drum, sljeflojt - an overtone flute, and the group's rich 3-voice harmonies.
